If you fire ppp with the simple command "ppp" it will execute the entries after "default". On the other hand, if you want to execute another set of settings for ppp, you could put them after another name that you make up. So I could make active the settings after pppoe: by executing; # ppp -ddial -nat pppoe or # ppp -ddial -nat default would execute the settings after default: or if no name is given, like; # ppp -ddial then it goes to the settings under default: default: # or name_of_service_provider set device PPPoE:rl0 # replace xl1 with your ethernet device set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set authname whatever set authkey whatever set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish set dial set login set ifaddr 209.188.66.29 206.221.248.4 add default HISADDR nat enable yes # if you want to enable nat for your local net pppoe: set device PPPoE:rl0 set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set speed sync enable lqr disable vjcomp set lqrperiod 5 set cd 5 set dial set login set timeout 0 set authname whatever set authkey whatever set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR > my ppp.conf file. and also what do I type for the "set ifaddr" field in the I would copy the one from my pppoe example above. > ppp.conf file. and where do I type the IP address for my ISP provider or the > DNS for my ISP provider or the telephone number for my ISP. There has to be For DSL there is no phone number. You just need your login and password. Providing you do -not- have a IP static address your box will find out what the IP address is during the negotiation. The details of your ppp connection are in /var/log/ppp.log You can monitor the connection with tail -f /var/log/ppp.log > a place where I need to type all this information or else how is the xDSL > modem is going to contact or connect with my ISP. Any help will be helpful. All the information goes in your ppp.conf, that is, your login and your password.
