^^ I am using ADSL with USB but in ubuntu from the last september. No problems till now.

@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.

^^ already rp-pppoe is there in Ubuntu!
run : sudo pppoeconf.
I think as per ur suggestion,u have extracted rp-pppoe source from their site.now what is the use,when debian's(ubuntu's) package manager already lists packages such as pppoe,pppoeconf,eciadsl(usb modem drivers) and more

Look brother. Your avatar shows that you know most of things about linux.

Terminal is still a nono for me so I know nothing about those commands..
I am still a mortal in front of you. So I tried giving him what worked for me!!
If that works for him then its fine.

Nothing to offend you. Take this lightly. again!!

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
