-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the help of Jonathon, I think I've made some progress. I changed /etc/hostname.pppoe0 to be the following:
pppoedev fxp0 authproto pap authname 'MYAUTHNAME' authkey 'MYPASSWORD' !/sbin/ifconfig fxp0 up !/sbin/ifconfig \$if inet 0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0> 0.0.0.1 <http://0.0.0.1> netmask 0xffffffff mtu 1452 !/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1 <http://0.0.0.1> up and restarted the network. The output of ifconfig and dmesg are attached in separate files. As you can see, I still don't get a proper inet address, i.e. I'm still not connected. No error messages this time. I have a conjecture. Is it possible that my ISP does not require authentication and that the only thing that prevents me from connecting is the 'authproto pap' entry in /etc/hostname.pppoe0?
