Hi,
I read what you had given with great interest. I am a Linux newbie adn had heard and read much about ubuntu. So I wanted to try it and dual booted my winxp pro with ubuntu 7.10 (installed on two separate hard disks).
Before the instllation I tried with a livecd and for one time my beetel adsl2 modem on ethernet worked. Heatrened, I installed ubuntu on hard disk.
From then on I have struggled without any success in connecting to the internet - which was my main purpose for ubuntu till i get used to it.
On winxp ii use raspppoe dialler to connect and supply my login and password each time. I heve the no download limit plan so i am not billed for the time.
i have read on the net extensively, some people have been lucky with this modem on various distros of linux. I have not - and am getting frustrated enough to think discarding linux. I have tried ubuntu, Damn Small Linux, Knoppix on either live cd or usb stick but could not connect.
I see from your efforts that you have succeeded.
Is it possible for you to guide me step by step what to do?
Thanks
SK Goel

@asdfgh2: Assuming that the basic linux are all same. Use this script:
Make a new file anywhere (on the desktop maybe)
[Desktop Entry]
Name=RP-PPPoE
Comment=RP-PPPoE
Exec=gksudo /opt/rp-pppoe-3.6/go-gui
Icon=pppoeconf.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;
SAve the file and click on it.
Run: Applications -> Internet -> RP-PPPoE
THis worked fine in ubuntu 6.06. I cont guarantee that this will work fine in RH. Anyways Best Of Luck.  |
