Setting up the

PPPoE driver

햴

햶

햴 Run the 'pppoeconf' command.

햵 Enter the necessary data: For help, refer to the information provided by your

Internet provider and the help included in the 'pppoeconf' program.

햶 To dial in, enter the command 'pon PROVIDERFILE', for example as “pon

dsl-provider”. You can disconnect using the 'poff' command.

Other settings:

In the '/etc/pppoe.conf' file, you can also configure some other

settings. However, it is not absolutely necessary to do so prior to initial opera-

tion. You can find more information on these settings in the main pages on

'pppoe.conf' or on the Internet by entering 'pppoe.conf' into a search engine.

If the connection is to remain open but should disconnect automatically after a

certain time, certain requests must be filtered. Otherwise, requests from port

scanners, worms, eMule and similar software would be answered and thus dis

connection would never occur.

Additional information

: The “HowTos” section of http://www.adsl4linux.de

provides lots of additional information and instructions to help you install and

configure the driver.
