Re: how to connect dsl with a eth0 modem

DSL/ADSL internet connections are setup using the command line. Enter this command in Konsole:

sudo pppoeconf

It will detect your eth0 then ask you a few questions. Unless you know what you are doing, the default answers will work fine. It will then ask you for your username and password and it will only ask you for this information once (isn't that convenient?). Then near the end, it will ask you if you want to have your internet connected during start up. You can answer yes or no. If you answer yes, obviously you don't have to think about your connection anymore. If you answer no, you have to type this command whenever you want to connect to the internet:

pon dsl-provider

Hope that helps.
