    Mandriva Linux LE2005 Network problem

    I'm from Italy and I have a pppoe ADSL connection too. I configured my Mandriva Linux LE2005 with KDE and it works. I can tell you how I made my configuration but I don't know if it will work for you... I think you have to remove all network protocol you configured before, close session and rerun x server. Then: Menu -> System -> Configuration -> Configure your computer Network and internet section, launch "configure new network interface" Step 1: ADSL connection step 2: normally it shows the ethernet interface, selected. step 3: select your provider from the list; if not present, select "Not in list" step 4: select PPP over ethernet (pppoe) step 5: insert DNS servers of your provider (if you don't know them, I think they will be configured automatically when you connect first time, because a week ago when my provider changed them, I found them already changed in my configuration), user and password. Click on "advanced" and compile VPI and VCI as specified on your modem configuration; in my case, they are 8 and 23. other steps: ask as you prefer. Then you have to close session and restart x server. In my case, i preferred not to start pppoe connection at startup. I have netapplet (menu -> system -> monitor -> netapplet: then you choose to start netapplet at startup) on status bar, and i connect when I need. For me it worked perfectly, and I didn't need to configure ethernet interface, it configured automatically. I hope I helped you. Alecta
