Using Sympatico Warp ADSL w/ Debian

[Jason Dawe]

Hi. When I installed Debian I said yes to the
configure network with DHCP question. It said it
worked. I also installed via-rhine for my network
card, which I found was the right module after some
research.

I rebooted, and expected to be online. I can't ping
anywhere, except myself. Ifconfig looks like things
are working. Can someone help me? I'm sure I got the
working easily before, I just don't remember how? I
want to connect to the Internet to install the rest of
the packages.

Any help is appreciated.

Jason

Using Bell Sympatico High Speed Edition ADSL in Toronto I connected
with PPPoE.  Didn't use DHCP at all.  All I had to do was:

apt-get install pppoe (it's on the third CD)

Then followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/pppoe/README.Debian
