Probably way off, but are you sure your ADSL modem is using pppoe? I ask because pppoe did not work for me under Fedora-7, and then I remembered my ISP had sent me a new modem a year of so ago, which just used a direct ethernet connection. [It is my impression most ADSL modems today do this.] The way I made the error was that I decided to upgrade an old FC-5 system, so as not to disturb my working FC-6 system. and my FC-5 must have dated from before the arrival of the new modem. Very unlikely to be the problem in your case ... -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
