- running an HP lappie with D-link pcmcia ethernet card recognized as eth0 - ran pppoeconf ok from root -first time internet connection worked and thought all was fine - after computer re-booted, no internet connection - ran pon dsl-provider, no internet - ran plog and got:
Plugin rppppoe.so loaded. pppd 2.4.4b1 started by root, uid 0 PPP session is 3182 Using interface ppp1 Connect: ppp1 <> eth0 PAP authentication failed - repeatedly used pon and poff dsl-provider to toggle the connection - interface changed from ppp1 to ppp2 to ppp3 to ppp4 (not sequentially, though). I have only one ethernet installed (the d-link) - finally, internet connection was established when interface toggled to ppp0, which seems to match with the same number designation for my ethernet: PPP session is 3234 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <> eth0 PAP authentication succeeded My internet connection CONSISTENTLY works when "ppp0 <> eth0". Under this situation, PAP authentication always succeeds. Is there a way to force Ubuntu Dapper to use only "ppp0"? I think this would solve my problem. Furthermore, I tried the fixes found on https://help.ubuntu.com/commuunity/adslpppoe involved changing "interfaces" file under /etc/network added lines as was suggested. still a no-go. so.........any ideas? Presently, my "interfaces" file reads as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp auto dsl-provider iface dsl-provider inet ppp provider dsl-provider pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf perhaps someone can help me...my only ethernet card is eth0. do i need lines like "auto eth1" and "auto ath0" and "auto wlan0"? Are these lines buggering my connection? Also, should my "iface eth0 inet dhcp" line read "iface eth0 inet manual", and if so, what's the diff? I have given this Ubuntu thing one more week, after which I will return to (egads) windows.
