Internet (Once and for all)
Alright. I'd really like to get my Internet working so, please, help me.
I have given up on getting Debian to connect me to the internet; so, I downloaded the software from Sympatico, my ISP (
http://service.sympatico.ca/index.cfm?method=content.view&category_id=99&content_id=1138).
It says to type in ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up -arp and says that will
stop all IP activity. Well, it may... but it is still broadcasting. How
do I make it stop? When I use the script /usr/local/bin/start-pppoe
(one of the scripts that is part of the software), it says no sir; eth0
still broadcasting. I've tried to get rid of all of the changes that I
made (using pppoeconf as well as opening up scripts and putting in
things I thought appropriate) and it still won't work. There is also a
mysterious inet6 under both the lo (local loopback) and the eth0. How
do I get rid of this?
I'd rather not have to completely re-install Debian to get rid of the
changes made and use the software. But, if things continue on as
they've been going, I may not have a choice.
Can some one help?
I thank you all in advance.
