are you using an external modem that connects to a network card, or are you using an internal modem?

did you guys have any idea what was the problem.. thanks..

Well that output means that your network card is working 🙂

eth0 is your ethernet card. So now it's just a software issue with PPPoE

 

[dimenxion]

ok... then what should i do...??

 

[Crusty]

Read up on PPPoE and linux 🙂

 

[dimenxion]

ok.. i'll try to find it out..

Buy a cheap router and use DHCP. (The easiest way I know of getting internet setup in linux 🙂 )
If you have a microcenter close to you I know they have a wired and wireless router for $15 each AR. Check your local computer stores.
