I cannot setup my PPPoE connection.

[safiqul.amin]

Hi, I am Safiq. I am a newbie. Now, I am using Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon (32-bit). On windows, I used PPPoE dial-up internet connection to get access to internet. I needed to put username and password for this. But on Linux Mint, I don't know how I can set up a PPPoE internet connection. Please, help me.

Hi Safiq.

I just had the same problem and found an easy solution: open the terminal and type

Code: Select all

pppoeconf

pppoeconf is a simple client for, who would have guessed that, configuring a PPPoE-connection. It guides you through the settings.
After you established the connection, you can try out if it works, e.g. with

Code: Select all

ping linuxmint.com

in the terminal.
(end this mode with Ctrl+c)

Don't get confused by the network-symbol on your desktop, it will still say there is no connection. Just ignore it.

I have tried this method. I mean, I went to "terminal" and used "sudo ppoeconf". Then I followed the steps and tried to make an internet connection. Then I tried to see "plog". It said that connection was established. But when I tried to go http://www.google.com, I failed.
