I naturally said yes. then it asked me user name and password. I gave the proper user name and password and tryed lynx to connect to google. it did not connect. then I did pppoeconf again. this time I gave wrong user name and password. but it still took it and said connection has been initiated. what could be the problem? can some one tell me what should I do with all the messages? I hope that ras pppoe is supported. it shows "sainet " on my diner on the windows box. Krishnakant.
Just out of curiosity, is your isp pacenet? If so, then you need to touch base with their tech dept, to get your id activated for linux(i.e. they allow you to login without that unholy numeric password mangling that they do in the windows driver/dialer). In any case, i've been connecting via pppoe for the last 2.5 years at home, and can definitely say that it works, and even works better than in windows(or is that just because of a much more sane networking stack?) regards R.
