Setting up PPPoE in Ubuntu

Setting up PPPoE

To set up the modem:

1. Open a terminal (Applications ▸ Accessories ▸ Terminal)

2. In the terminal, type

sudo pppoeconf

3. A text-based menu program will guide you through the following steps:

1. Confirm that your Ethernet card is detected.
2. Enter your username.
3. Enter your password.
4. If you already have a PPPoE Connection configured, you will be asked if it may be modified.
5. Popular options: you are asked if you want the “noauth” and “defaultroute” options and to remove “nodetach”. Choose Yes.
6. Use peer DNS - choose Yes.
7. Limited MSS problem - choose Yes.
8. When you are asked if you want to connect at start up, you will probably want to say yes.
9. Finally you are asked if you want to establish the connection immediately.


4. Once you have finished these steps, your connection should be working.
