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:
-->a. Confirm that your Ethernet card is detected.
-->b. Enter your username.
-->c. Enter your password.
-->d. If you already have a PPPoE Connection configured, you will be asked if it may be modified.
-->e. Popular options: you are asked if you want the “noauth” and “defaultroute” options and to remove “nodetach”. Choose Yes.
-->f. Use peer DNS - choose Yes.
-->g. Limited MSS problem - choose Yes.
-->h. When you are asked if you want to connect at start up, you will probably want to say yes.
-->i. Finally you are asked if you want to establish the connection immediately.
4. Once you have finished these steps, your connection should be working.
