PPPOE

Having trouble with an ADSL modem that does not connect automatically? When in Windows you have to use some kind of "Dialer" to connect to the internet? Worry not! Here's your solution for Ubuntu:

To configure your connection type:

$ pppoeconf

Follow the instructions and then use

$ pon dsl-provider

To turn it on.

And

$ poff -a

To stop all pppoe connections.

Cheers
