How to configure pppoe in fedora 11 & make it work automatically after restart

123 · #1 13th June 2009, 06:39 AM

Hi,
My network is windows pppoe. How can I configure it for Fedora 11? Is there any graphical configuration tool available for that?

Also, ubuntu 9.04 logs into pppoe network after restarting as I've made some changes in /etc/network/interfaces. Is there any option available for Fedora 11 to automatically log in to pppoe network after restarting?

Thanks.

G'day Folks

I am also having problems configuring my connection.
I have just installed FC11-x86_64 from a DVD I created from an ISO
I tried to create an xADSL pppoe connection and got an error message:
'need to install package rp-pppoe'
I am unsure how to install a package when I do not have a connection to the repositories.
A bit of a catch 22? I need the connection to get the package but I need the package to have a connection.

Thanks in advance for any help, I am using FC10-x86_64 to access the internet at the moment.
I am using the onboard ethernet port on an ASUS P5K -SE motherboard connected to a Speed Touch Home
ADSL Broadband modem.

Hi, this is my first ever post, so I apologise if I make any newbie mistakes... I have just installed Fedora 11 and I can't activate my pppoe network connection using the 'Network Administration tool'. I was able to activate eth0, but when I type the settings for pppoe in to the network administration tool, it is set at inactive, and there is no way of clicking the activate button. By the way, I have downloaded the rp-pppoe software (using wireless at the library) so that error message is no longer a problem. I would appreciate any help with this as it is very frustrating

In a terminal

Code:

su
yum install rp-pppoe
pppoe-setup

I also suggest a router...
