I am not aware of any PPPoE HOWTOs off the top of my head. However, I do recommend you start by looking at the wonderful scripts "adsl-setup", "adsl-start", "adsl-stop", and "adsl-status". It's been a while since I've used them, but I believe they came with my firewall's Slackware 10.1 installation. They shouldn't be hard to find.

Best of luck to you.

thank you for this commands. i managed to install pppd with a gui interface but i can't manage to connect.

I used the Roaring Penguin rp-pppoe package with quite a lot of success. Are you using it? If not I'd suiggest getting it and trying it out. I've since switched over to using a straight pppd on OpenBSD on my network gateway, though. If you can't make things work with rp-pppoe give us some additional information about your DSL modem, particularly if it is an Ethernet or USB modem. If it's Ethernet, check and make sure your Ethernet card is detected. Likewise if USB, check if it shows up in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

i've tryied with rp-pppoe-3.7.tar.gz package and failed. it's gives me an error that i must install pppd suite first.
"./go" but mostly "./go-gui"
i type my pass & username choose the domain and it gives me time out error.

Silly question: do you have ppp support compiled into your Linux kernel? Unless you either have it statically compiled or have the module loaded, none of your attempts at PPPoE are going to go anywhere.

Good luck!

i'm using mandriva linux 2006. i'm sure it is included in the kernel.

Hmm. Can you post a dump of the messages you're getting regarding the "timeout error"? It might help to have the whole lot here.

'fraid I'm not an expert on this matter, but I'll do my best.
