First you will have to run

Code:

pppoe-setup

to configure your pppoe connection. Then restart the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and rc.inet2 scripts (probably you could go without restarting some of them,but I am not sure which, so you'd better restart both). Then "pppoe-start"should be successful and your internet connection should be up and running. See man pppoe for more information.

To set up a pppoe connection in slackware run "pppoe-setup" as root. When it is configured run "pppoe-start". See this thread:

Rp-pppoe is in slackware/n if you don't have it installed:

Some DSL modems enable you to enter your DSL username and password directly into the routers configuration. Check your routers documentation to see if this is possible.
