Anne,
I share your pain. I was running MDK8.1 with ASDL as my default on a
Compaq laptop. But I take my show on the road quite a bit and needed to
use the dialer. Problem was, while the dialer would connect, the
browser, email program or whatever wouldn't see the connection. I later
ran into the same problem with Windows 98 and found that I had to shut
down my ADSL software before I could get a dailup connection that the
computer would recognize.
So if I may rephrase your question: How can one deactivate pppoe once
it's started so that ppp can have a clear shot at the connection in a
way the software will recognize?
Right now, because of my inability to figure that one out, I'm using
WinXP on one partition and Linux on another on a new laptop...
Best regards,
Pete
