Re: Ethernet problem
Or, if it is not a pppoe (PPP-over-ethernet) dsl modem, and you are
not getting dhcp addressing, you will need to set your IP address
statically.
To do this, edit the file /etc/network/interfaces with nano or
another editor by typing:
# nano /etc/network/interfaces
as root. You can comment out what is there with the # character at
the start of each line and add some lines at the end similar to:
####
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
####
Where you can replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the appropriate addresses
for each line which you should get from your ISP. You may not need
to specify a broadcast address, in which case you may skip that line.
The "auto lo eth0" line tells the system to startup the local
loopback interface ("lo") and your network card ("eth0") at boot.
The "iface lo inet loopback" defines the "lo" interface.
The "iface eth0..." and the rest define the eth0 interface which is
your network card.
If your PC is connected to a DSL-router instead of a dsl-modem, you
may have DHCP, but it sounds like that is not the case.
Hope this helps ya,

Ok the module loaded correctly and works.
The PC is only connected to a DSL-modem so there is no dhcp server
What do I have to do now?
As root type
# pppoeconf
and follow the instructions.
