Can`t access the Internet? PPPoE over Wireless!

sudo troyan · 05-31-2010, 04:57 PM

Hi friends!
I have problem to access the Internet, with Ubuntu 10.04.
In Windows I access the Internet in this way:
Create a PPPoE Connection (with username and password), after this connect to a Wireless Network called WebSTAR (I have Wireless modem in my family PC), and connect to PPPoE Connection. After these steps the Internet works fine.

.
But I have same problems with Ubuntu.
First I see the Network named "WebSTAR" but I can`t connect to it.
And I try many times to join the Internet with "sudo pppoeconf" command in Terminal, but didn't work.

Thank you all

.
You Rocks.

I had the same problem; I could see my wireless network but after setting the WEP Passphrase, Network Manager kept asking for the Passphrase again and again. I would get an IP address from the wireless DHCP server but no TCP/IP traffic would pass. Using WICD, I saw odd hex characters being returned.
I worked on this for months. Finally at my wit's end (not far away) I typed in the Passphrase into the window for WEP Key and not Passphrase. It connected immediately.

I had struggled with whether the correct Passphrase was being returned from the Gnome Key and Password App but that was not the issue. This could be a problem with my VisionNet DSL modem/wireless router combo box or it could be a bug in Ubuntu, because the same problem existed in both my 10.04 and 9.10 boxes. It's worth a try if you're desperate.
