Re: Setting up ADSL?

[Jude DaShiell]

aptitude install pppoeconf from a debian CD then aptitude update and 
aptitude dist-upgrade as soon as you get online.  You'll have a choice of 
dhclient or dhcpcd packages and pppoeconf installs dhclient.  You may find 
it helpful to install dhcpcd and do an aptitude remove purge dhclient 
though since the most current dhclient package over here drops connections 
frequently for no apparent reason I can discover yet. Try setting router 
on modem to medium security level then go out to http://www.grc.com and do 
the shields up test.  If your system comes back as truely stealthed then 
you're successful.  If not, aptitude install arno-iptables-firewall then 
do that shields up test again.  That should get you started.
