with pppoe, DON'T use the Mandrake tool, it makes to many assumptions about your network settings.. in my case a good many of those assumptions were incorrect...

I changed from modem to adsl just before I changed to 9.0. It was such a no-brainer with standard Mdk tools that I can hardly remember doing anything - and I certainly couldn't be called experienced. 9.0 detected it automatically, so I didn't need to do anything as far as I can remember.
