Then you should confirm your setup. Your service provider's
proposed (and supported) configuration would be a modem or
modem/router combination that presents the PPPoE login as
configured in that modem or modem/router combination. You can
then connect multiple devices as a LAN on your side of that
equipment.. It also means that your configuration (modem or
modem/router combination) doesn't change as the size of the
network increases.
You would only choose DSL for your connection type with Live if
you need this login presented by your computer. However, that
means you have only one device at a time with Internet access, and
you are dependent upon the maintenance (and inclusion) of a PPPoE
client with each major/minor upgrade of Live, as you the Live boot
feature. The Live boot feature is (simply) to see if a particular
computer works with the distribution on a trial basis - it's not
meant for production use.
Given that you may want to connect cell phones, smart TV's, and
the like in the future, I would start thinking about the network
getting larger. See the first paragraph.

I think it is better to describe the steps I
perform.
1. Connect Ethernet cable comming from your
provider to the network card of your PC/Laptop.
2. Start the PC/Laptop with Debian 8.5 Cinnamon
Live in the optical drive (or on your USB stick).
3. Boot with the live CD.
4. Select in the main menu "Preferences/Network
Connections".
5. In the "Network Connections" window press
"Add".
6. In the "Choose a Connection Type" window
select "DSL" and press "Create".
7. In the "Editing DSL connection 1" window /
tab "DSL" provide your credentials in the "Username" and
"Password" fields.
8. In the tab "General" tick "Automatically
connect to this network when it is avalable".
9. In the "Device MAC address" combo box in the
"Ethernet" tab select your interface (I have only one
option).
10. In the "Editing DSL connection 1" window
press "Save".
11. In the "Network Connections" window press
"Close".
Now the connection is created but does not
work, i.e. no Internet access. This seems to behave the same
for 8.2 and 8.3. I tested with Cinnamon and XFCE. The same
test works well for Debian 7.4 XFCE Live: Internet access is
provided.

Live 8
For the list - is there a PPPoE client in Debian Live 8?
Does one install if it's installed versus being run in live
mode?
Is running PPPoE over wifi even plausible?
I'd propose a gateway server or a router, either one with a
PPPoE client, but that's me...

Probably you misunderstood me. The
point is that Debian 8 Live does not setup DSL
connection over Ethernet (PPPoE) if you use desktop
environment graphical tools. On the other hand,
Debian 7.4 Live does it well. I talk about images
tested in live mode (without installation on the
hard drive). Tests are done on the same hardware,
i.e. it is not an issue with non-free components. An
additional difficulty for me is that I do not have a
DSL connection of this kind in easy access, I have a
wi-fi connection currently. But when my parents try
the same live media (8.5 live) they cannot get
Internet working due to the problem with DSL
connection.

Then you may need to do a full install, while
making *certain* your installation process (media)
includes access to the nonfree repository. Debian
is fair at best on wifi due to licensing
requirements that prohibit some software from being
freely and broadly distributed. Wifi drivers, for
the most part, fit that description.
Look for live media that includes "nonfree" in the
image name, both Debian and Ubuntu (a Debian
derivative).

I have no network connection

The DSL connection is at my

physically far away from me.
This is the only connection
they have. Currently, they use
Windows as the only installed
OS, which is quite old and
needs to be replaced. I want
them to change to Debian,
since I am also planning to
change from Mint to Debian. I
am afraid that after
installing Debian from Live CD
they will not be able to setup
Internet connection.
Anyway, I am sure
about the bug. Few weeks ago I
have been on vacation, where I
also had a DSL connection
(from a completely different
provider). I had 20-30 free
minutes and tried live disks.
8.5 does not connect, while
7.4 is excellent.
Unfortunately, I had no time
to look for workaround while I
had this connection available.

Dear Debian Live
Team,
I have a
problem with
setting up a

provided by

tried with
versions 8.2,
8.3 and 8.5.
The same
method works
well with
Debian Live
7.4. I have
already asked
this question
in Debian User

there is no

not an expert

Could you
please look at

least where to
post this bug?
