PPPoe Connnection on Ubuntu/Kubuntu

[charlieharper]

I installed the new Kubuntu, so I was just wondering how can I connect to PPPoe on Kubuntu while my router is in Bridge mode.

Easy. There is a thread on this already though
Go to your terminal. type in "sudo pppoeconf" and follow the instructions.
Then type "sudo kedit mv /etc/network/interfaces" and remove the last two lines of code- those bugger up your networking.
Then go to the terminal again and type "sudo mv /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider 1". This renames the connection to "1".
To switch the connection on, type "pon 1" or "poff 1" to switch it off again.

Since I did this, I stopped using PPPoe Bridge Mode, and rather went back to my normal PPPoe Connection (modem default).

Now I cant use the net on Ubuntu.

Im on my phone sn can't open that picture, but what do you mean you can't browse the web? Did u set up everything correctly? Did you remove those two lines from the /etc/network/interfaces file?

Is there an "easier" (maybe GUI) way to do this? I use a pppoe at home but not at the office.

You can follow the same instructions, but create shortcuts to turn the connections on and off. Or if you're running 8.10, the network manager has support for creating PPPoE connections. Not sure of its reliability though.

Thanks.

I'm running 9.04 - do you have a resource I can look at wrt creating shortcuts?

With shortcuts he means you can create like a batch file to do everything with, like we use for the routing table.

the "routing.txt" file

sudo pon intl
sudo pon local
sudo bash routes.txt

sudo bash routing.txt

Call me a noob but there's always a GUI way to do things in the newer Ubuntu... why always with the coding

Coding is more fun.... and it always works.

I'm now running 9.04 on my AAO... It's sleek as hell!

On 9.04, you can also use the connections manager:

1) Right click on the network icon in the notifications area (top right in a default Ubuntu installation)
2) Edit Connections
3) DSL tab
