Guide To Setting Up your PPPOE based ISP in Linux

[Quad Master]

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.

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

To check your account status type "plog"
