It sees my eth0 connection, I accept that, but then after flashing a couple of brief "Timeout waiting for PADO packets" or something like that, I get: "Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. [which are OK, since when I'm on OSX I'm properly connected] Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem [I very much doubt this is the problem] I don't know much about networking, so I have no idea what this message means. When I run the Network Administration tool the connections pane is empty, and there's no "add" button. The help says to use the "add" button... So basically I'm still stuck. -- Mike. -- pppoeconf prints useless error message, doesn't do anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/54383 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
