Hi, My ISP needs to run some tests on my line and asked me to connect a pc/laptop directly to the line bypassing the router using a PPPoE connection.
The internet connection is optic fibre broadband and I have no problem connecting to the internet using the router. So I'm taking the end of the Ethernet cable plugged into the WAN port in the router and plug it into my network card while leaving the other end of the cable plugged into the ONT. Then I'm configuring a PPPoE connection. The PC I'm using is running Ubuntu 16.04 MATE desktop. I tried both via Network Manager (NM) and pppoeconf with no luck. With NM I used this guide (I know, but it is what my ISP's support gave me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx-G-Sn6IhY and with pppoeconf I just ran the command with sudo. The Network Manager is saying in syslogs that 'ppp-manager: pppd timed out or didn't initialize our dbus module' while pppoeconf complains about not finding a PPPoE Access Concentrator. What am I doing wrong? TIA, Adrian _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
