if one is using the internal dialer of the modem to connect (say on xp,
considering a dual booting system), pppoeconf does not work . that is what i
have learnt. however, you could use the internal dialer on xp , but to set
up net on linux you dont need pppoe if you're running with modem's
internal dialer. in that case the modem acts as a router. so just set your
ip addr to 192.168.1.100, gateway and dns to 192.168.1.1. that'll do. the
pppoeconf is only supposed to be used when your modem's internal dialer does
not work. use it as a last option. my friend had suggested me this sometime
ago and after a little messing , it worked :D

List,
It is a very /ajeeb/ problem. And I am not able to
understand what's causing it.
My friend's computer is an old one (4 years) has 256
MB of RAM and Ubuntu 7.04 installed without problems.
Since, he uses a software called raspppoe on Windows
XP, I started pppoeconf after booting into the LIVE
CD. I managed to configure the internet connection by
answering a few questions in the wizard and voila!
Good hear it worked out of box
However, now after installing Ubuntu 7.04, he tried
running pppoeconf and configured it. Though the
terminal says rs-ppp loaded (or something similar),
the browser (Firefox) still displays Server not
found.
I asked him to modify /etc/resolv.conf with an OpenDNS
IP address. Didn't help!
Maybe you need to
sudo route add default ppp0
also post the output of ifconfig,pppoe-discovery if the above command
does not work for more info
On ubuntu forums, one killed dhclient service which
was causing a problem to him.
What are the files (config files) created / edited by
pppoeconf? (Couldn't find this in manpage)
one it dsl-provider its in the /etc,
for others i don't wait for other to reply
