Hi,

I've chosen from the PPoE setup to start the PPoE connection automatically at boot time, but it doesn't work. Otherwise the connection works fine, but I'd really like the connection to start automatically as set. Now I have to go through the PPoE setup dialog everytime I boot.

Are you running from liveCD or hard drive installl?
If liveCD confgure your pppoe and test it. Then backup the system.
Then reboot and try the commad:

pon dsl-provider

Then to terminate use the command

poff

If this works then add the command

pon dsl-provider

as a line on /opt/bootlocal.sh

then backup.

Thanks mate

Still one problem, it seems I can run the pon dsl-provider command only as root, because if I'm logged in as a normal user I get "file dsl-provider does not exist" How can I set it to be able to run as normal user.

instead?

but as [dsl], those commands don't work to me at all:

pon dsl-provider -- can't start my pppoe connection

poff --can't terminate/disconnect either

I have no clue what's up, do I have to run those commands as root only?
