I told pppoeconf that I didn't want to start the network at boot. To start it anytime: Open an xterm, su to root. Then try this: pon dsl-provider You can use the "plog" command to see what effect this had, or "ifconfig ppp0" Similarly to kill the connection: poff dsl-provider That's what works for me. The next thing (actually, a question I want to ask on this list) is how to do this without becoming root. regards, Robert > Hi Robert, > > Thanks for your advice. > > The Debian box is connected to broadband via a ADSL modem with dynamic > IP.
