Problem: Setting up my PPPoE connection!

This might be useful:

On Windows to setup my ADSL connection I do the following steps:

1-Connect the Lan card to ADSL router
2-Create a New Network Connection -- LAN of course (Or use the existing one)
3-Set the connection's IP, Mask, Gateway, DNS and Alt. DNS Alltogether in the same window (Connection Properties>TCP/IP Properties)
4-Everything works fine!

And This must be useful:

On Linux (Slack10.1 - Kernel 2.4) ... well the story is and of course must be a bit different

1-I know how to setup my IP address for ethernet card eth0
2-I'm also able to setup the Netmask for eth0
3-I guess I should give the DNS addresses in /etc/resolve.conf
Then ...
4-I know nothing about how to set Gateway address for eth0
5-I checked adsl-setup once but it asks for a username and password which I've got none and I certainly need none! pppoe.conf also contains such things as username and password which I don'nt know how should I deal with!

Anybody could help?
thx in advance

You don't need to go through adsl-setup if you're connecting through a nic/router. Open a terminal, login as root, type "netconfig" (minus quotes, of course) and follow the prompts. I normally choose DHCP as it's easier, but setting a static IP (that of your router) will work okay as well.
Once you've gone through netconfig, stay in the root terminal and type the following:

That should do it, assuming the correct modules are loaded for your network card.

Hope this helps,

Edit: I should add that I take no credit for the above - I found the answer through a search of the site when I first switched from dialup to ADSL. Well worth a couple of minutes of your time.
