Hi Guys

Finally i was able to access my internet in linux.

I knew that my ISP uses raspppoe for connecting.

So i opened synaptic and searched and i found out that pppoeconf was already a installed package.

So i opened a terminal and typed "sudo pppoeconf" and this is how it progressed.

Key in ur password for current linux login

It lists the devices it finds

Looks for Access Concentrator

Click Yes

Enter ur Isp Login & Password.

Click Yes

Click OK

Now the net is connected and you can access the net by firing up ur browser [Firefox]

To check your account status type "plog"

Enjoy
