If your Zyair thing runs the PPPoE bit, you almost certainly want to configure the network card connected to the Zyair thing as "dhcp", and it should (in theory) just work. This stanza in /etc/network/inferfaces should be close to right: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Replace `eth0' with the right Ethernet interface for your setup. :) Regards, Daniel -- there's a party going on we'll all be here dancing underground there's a riot going on we'll all be here dancing underground -- Covenant, _Riot_

Well, that may well be the problem. You may need to use some special extra settings in the PPPoE packets, or a fixed MAC address or something like that. Alternately, it could be an issue with your use of the router, rather than a PPPoE issue directly. > I have a Zyair 2000 DSL Modem/Router, could it be where the problem > is? That depends. Is this a "bridge mode" device, or does it handle the PPPoE layer internally? Most modern DSL modems do all the PPPoE work themselves, and expect you to connect to a DHCP server on them before they activate the link. Annoying, but workable. A quick search shows a bunch of Zyair 2000 wireless router devices, but none that claim to feature ADSL support, so I can't comment directly. How is this configured under Windows? From that we should be able to derive the operating mode correctly. Daniel -- We fear that pop-culture is the only culture we're ever going to have.
