Does your adsl modem contain a router, if so, you can probably configure it to handle the pppoe connection and set it as your gateway. Otherwise, you will have to configure pppoe for your ISP. Here is the relevant extract from The debian reference manual (http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html)hi,I'm new in debian and previosly i used windows xp. now i decided to try debian for the first time. i have downloaded boot cd to install debian from network, in the bigining everything gone well but when i was asked to choose the mirror i can't. because it was said no version in this server (i have debian 4.0). my internet connection is pppoe. i have read that pppoe is supported to install debian via network. maybe i did somethig wrong? by the way now it is installed only basical system of debian (i think) i can just use terminal to make a commands. is there any way to configure my pppoe connection and upgrade the system? what commands i shoud use?sorry i am just first time user :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------Pinpoint customers <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=48250/*http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/arp/sponsoredsearch_v9.php?o=US2226&cmp=Yahoo&ctv=AprNI&s=Y&s2=EM&b=50>who are looking for what you sell.
Many broadband Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use PPP to negotiate connections even though customer machines are connected to them through Ethernet and/or ATM networks. This is accomplished by means of PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) which is a technique for the encapsulation of PPP streams inside of Ethernet frames. Suppose your ISP is called myisp. First configure PPP and PPPoE for peer myisp. The easiest way to do this is to install the |pppoeconf| package and to run |pppoeconf| from the console. Then edit |/etc/network/interfaces| so that it includes a stanza like this:
iface eth0 inet ppp
provider myisp
There are sometimes Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) issues with PPPoE over
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). See |DSL-HOWTO
