The real problem is obscure, since nobody knows the facts. Cable modem, router on it. Two boxes, one debian, one xp. Xp works like a charm, debian crawls. No info for further investigation. Regarding pppoe, the original poster has cable modem. Simple ifconfig would sufice for that. Or dhcp. Zoran -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
