Hello Friends

He gave me username : reza , Password = 123456 , and service name : omstartnet. But i tried to connect it in Fedora 16 , i am unable to connect it . In Network Manager i put all the details but still not able to connect. Kindly help me or send me any helpfull link, so i can enjoy Internet in Fedora as well.

Thanks and regards

Configure pppoe in linux is quite easy, you must edit file /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf. In pppoe.conf insert your username and password, then insert interface for connect to adsl modem (ex: ethX) and insert primary and secondary DNS. After completing pppoe.conf, run: pppoe-start. Or, you can try: pppoe-setup for simple way.

Hello t1nm@n

i follow the following instruction kindly check.

[root@server1 Documents]# pppoe-setup

Welcome to the PPPoE client setup. First, I will run some checks on
your system to make sure the PPPoE client is installed properly...

LOGIN NAME

Enter your Login Name (default root): reza

INTERFACE

Enter the Ethernet interface connected to the PPPoE modem
For Solaris, this is likely to be something like /dev/hme0.
For Linux, it will be ethX, where 'X' is a number.
(default eth0): p4p1

Do you want the link to come up on demand, or stay up continuously?
If you want it to come up on demand, enter the idle time in seconds
after which the link should be dropped. If you want the link to
stay up permanently, enter 'no' (two letters, lower-case.)
NOTE: Demand-activated links do not interact well with dynamic IP
addresses. You may have some problems with demand-activated links.
Enter the demand value (default no): no

DNS

Please enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server.
If your ISP claims that 'the server will provide dynamic DNS addresses',
enter 'server' (all lower-case) here.
If you just press enter, I will assume you know what you are
doing and not modify your DNS setup.
Enter the DNS information here: 128.139.6.1
Please enter the IP address of your ISP's secondary DNS server.
If you just press enter, I will assume there is only one DNS server.
Enter the secondary DNS server address here: 128.139.4.3

PASSWORD

Please enter your Password:
Please re-enter your Password:

USERCTRL

Please enter 'yes' (three letters, lower-case.) if you want to allow
normal user to start or stop DSL connection (default yes): yes

FIREWALLING

Please choose the firewall rules to use. Note that these rules are
very basic. You are strongly encouraged to use a more sophisticated
firewall setup; however, these will provide basic security. If you
are running any servers on your machine, you must choose 'NONE' and
set up firewalling yourself. Otherwise, the firewall rules will deny
access to all standard servers like Web, e-mail, ftp, etc. If you
are using SSH, the rules will block outgoing SSH connections which
allocate a privileged source port.

The firewall choices are:
0 - NONE: This script will not set any firewall rules. You are responsible
for ensuring the security of your machine. You are STRONGLY
recommended to use some kind of firewall rules.
1 - STANDALONE: Appropriate for a basic stand-alone web-surfing workstation
2 - MASQUERADE: Appropriate for a machine acting as an Internet gateway
for a LAN
Choose a type of firewall (0-2): 0

Start this connection at boot time

Do you want to start this connection at boot time?
Please enter no or yes (default no):no

** Summary of what you entered **

Ethernet Interface: p4p1
User name: reza
Activate-on-demand: No
Primary DNS: 128.139.6.1
Secondary DNS: 128.139.4.3
Firewalling: NONE
User Control: yes
Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)? y
Adjusting /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
Adjusting /etc/resolv.conf
(But first backing it up to /etc/resolv.conf.bak)
Adjusting /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
(But first backing it up to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.bak)
(But first backing it up to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.bak)

Congratulations, it should be all set up!

Type '/sbin/ifup ppp0' to bring up your xDSL link and '/sbin/ifdown ppp0'
to bring it down.
Type '/sbin/pppoe-status /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0'
to see the link status.

one thing , the name of the Ethernet Cards should be like eth0 or eth1 but in my computer it is showing p4p1 and p3p1.
Can any one help me in this ?

war49 · 05-07-2012, 10:09 PM

hi reza,

You must able to ping your adsl modem,
most ethernet name in linux is ethX..

You must enter username and password that given by ISP (for example in Indonesia is: Telkom/speedy).
exp:
USERNAME=ABCDEX12345@telkom.net
PASSWORD=(Given by telkom/speedy)

On the taskbar there would be something like Applications. In that you can browse through System Tools --> Network Device Control, something like that.
