PPPoE with Linux 2.4.x kernel

[ugh]

Hi all,

Anyone here managed to setup PPPoE with the Linux 2.4.x kernel (whatever distro that has kernel 2.4 in it)? I'm gonna get a ADSL connection soon and thinking of setting up a small Linux box as the firewall.

TIA.

No problems at all,
pppoeconf/pppoe is included by default in Debian.
What you'll need thought is kernel with ppp/netfilter support, either add modules during install or make your own (2 option is beter imo).

Cool. Thanks for the info. Is configuring it difficult?

if you don't have the PPPoE package installed, here it is!

very easy to set up, there's a short document on that page called HOW-TO-CONNECT

I've actually seen that site. Just wondering if it's easy/possible to setup/install PPPoE in 2.4. Thanks BTW

Roaringpenguin....isnt that what Mandrake9.0 installs by default when one sets up ADSL connection??

Wait a minute...am I not using Mandrake? Oh no! I switched to Debian (woody) a month ago. But then can I go online? Well...I already am
