Subject: pppoeconf: Please provide warning, when /e/n/i already extists. Package: pppoeconf Version: 1.18 Severity: important
Dear DDs, could you please provide a big fat warning when configuring pppoeconf and /e/n/i already exists/is already setup. Something like this. It looks like your network is already configured. Please note, that pppoeconf is currently not able to ensure to adapt this file to work properly. You are advised, to move this file. I was using the portable system with a router before and network-manager-gnome. Wanting to access the Internet using directly a DSL modem I could not get pppoeconf to set it up to work. I should have taken a look at the bug reports earlier, but reading the tutorial on the WWW I did not think about this as it sounded so easy. I than adapted /e/n/i to proposal 1 in [1] and probably had a authentication error afterwards. Deleting chap-secrets and pap-secrets and rerunning sudo pppoeconf solved it finally for me. Thanks, Paul PS: Is there a possible set up to use a Router by default (with DHCP) and just when issuing pon to connect over a modem directly? (For the cases with a notebook for example.)
