help with adsl/pppoe and mandrake


five day user of linux, not sure why but whenever I reboot I need to reconfigure my adsl conection. I'm using verizon dsl with mandrake 9.1. I used mandrake control center to configure my connection. It works fine after this but when I reboot I need to set up the connection over again. I've done searching on google and this board bi=ut haven't seen anything that matches. The modem is a westell if that help although it seems it is an OS issue. TIA

Hi
This is Michaela from germany.

Try to configure it under the user " root ".
May be some went wrong during the base installation and a normal user may configure it for one time use only.

This is the only thing what i can think about.

Good luck

Michaela

Thanks for the advice, I reconfigured the network settings under root, no luck. I noticed mt ethernet card doesn't show up after a reboot when I start drakconnect. Could this be the issue? Also sometimes it shows a static IP and other times it is dhcp. What should ADSL be? I'm sue I don't have a static IP. Is there logs I could post that would help diagnosis?

I've tried to find a solution to this issue, no luck. Perhaps if I remove all network settings and start from scatch it will help. Would someone explain how to remove all network settings. I'll then start as root and see if it works.
