I managed to setup a connection using RP-PPPoE after enabling PPP in the kernel and installing RP-PPPoE, WvStreams, WvDial and
OpenSSL. However, I'd rather not install all 4 packages when a single one would do. So I read the instruction on
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/PPP
and the README.pppoe file in the PPP package. Then I tried to setup a PPPoE connection (using only PPP) by ensuring the contents of
some configuration files read as follows:
/etc/ppp/options:
lock
plugin rp-pppoe.so
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets, /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:
"<my username>" * "<my password>"
/etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options:
require-pap
login
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 2
Besides, I setup /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf according to the instructions I received from my ISP. In fact, I just copied the file when
PPPoE was setup with RP-PPPoE. There was no /etc/resolv.conf in the case with RP-PPPoE, so I decided not to create one in the case
with PPP only.
Then I executed
pppd eth0
which produced:
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.3
Then I ping'ed an Internet host by IP address and got:
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
Can someone help me setup a PPPoE connection using only the PPP package?
