Chuck. I quite understand. Somehow a CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
got in there, and so when I replied, it was reproduced. The header of
this message looks clean, and so it's a kind of test. It goes to you,
and a CC: for the list and back to me.

Yes, the eth0 is up and running. The problem was that the
configuration utility gave me the choice of a static address or DHCP,
and I was unable to enter " ". I can get back to the files themselves,
but right now on the machine I'm using, I have a permanent address for
my machine (192.168.0.1) that is simply ignored when I set up a DSL
connection.

I simply killed that unwanted ppp0, and it goes better.

15% of all linux users? ;-)
With eth0 up and running, and having defined the inteface property in
network configuration, I then proceed to configure Roaring Penguin.
Before I do I run adsl-status and am told, naturally, that there's no
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file. I then proceed to configure Roaring Penguin
(I'm comfortable with that), and at the end save the
configuration. However, no /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file shows up.
Then I start adsl and get: ipchains: protocol not available. My first
reaction was that iptables were blocking ppp, but now I don't think
so. Nevertheless, when I run
ipchains -L ... REJECT tcp anysource anydest tcp
flags:SYN,RSG,AC...
However, I can read the error above to mean that ipchains is telling
me there's no ppp protocol running. That, with the absense of a
configuraion file, suggests that Roaring Penguin failed to configure
pppoe. I did all this as root, but I'll have to check permissions,
etc. to make sure the configuration file can be created. Also, I can
try importing my old config file, which should be the same.
