I'll try it when I get back home and post a feedback!  |
Hey Hey
It worked!
Thanks a lot! |
Well, it seems that I un-learned how to connect to the Internet, as I was not able to do it since the weekend. I know I do something wrong, but I can't figure out what.
I am running DSL 2.3 from a Live-cd. My modem is a speedstream 5200 from bell sympatico
Here's what I do:
I go to the control panel and click on netcardconfig. I answer "no" to the question asked and go through automatic server authenfication.
After that, I run pppoeconf and go through the process. I enter my internet access username and password.
Everything seems to be fine so far.
And when I type "pon" in a terminal, I get that message:
SIOCSIFFLAG: permission denied
/usr/sbin/pppd: can't open option file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: permission denied
What are your thoughts: Is it a username and password issue or another configuration issue?
I think this is simply a username and password issue but Bell Sympatico do not support tech problems to Linux users.
Sorry to bother you folks with that, but an Internet connection is *really* useful
