I've attached my /etc/network/interfaces. The pppoe package in Debian is the Roaring Penguin PPPoE drivers, and they say that the ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem should be "up, but with no IP address". You can do this by running 'ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up', assuming eth0 is the interface attached to the DSL modem. The configuration I have in /etc/network/interfaces has worked for years, and is technically "right". ie: ppp0 is the interface we care about, not eth0(or whatever is connected to your DSL modem), and it makes sure the underlying interface is in the appropriate state before trying to start the PPPoE drivers. -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
