I ran pppoeconf when I set it up, but now I want to remove it... I don't need it anymore as I now have the internet coming in direct through the LAN.
 
is the ppoeconf affecting anything

No, I guess not. I opened my browser and the first time it did not want to connect... but when I opened it again it connected just fine... so I guess I don't need to remove anything. But is it going to try to connect to my old PPPoE settings every time I boot up? Will it hurt anything if I ignore it?
 
i dont think it will affect anything but if it does you can try remove the ppoeconf package
 
can't you just run sudo pppoeconf again? From what I read it should remove connections you don't use.

Failing that you might need to edit /etc/network/interfaces

I did run it again. It just told me it could not find any PPPoE carriers or summat (I guess cos my router is no longer in bridge mode).
 
Remember what you named it? It's stored under
Code:
/etc/ppp/peers/myconnection
Delete the file.

If you named the connection ppp0, say, then in the /etc/network/interfaces file, you should have a directive like
Code:
iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider myconnection
which could be removed too

OK, I named it WebAfricaADSL... so I should be able to find that! :D

Will check tomorrow!

Thanks guys!
