stef_204 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Mandriva One Spring KDE Hi, I need to set up an internet connection that uses PPPoE (with user name and password) in Mandriva One Spring KDE for a friend. I have tried using "create new connection" and choosing "DSL", etc.; but I can't seem to make it work in a stable manner. It worked once yesterday, and upon reboot, no longer works. It looks like the system wants to connect to the Internet automatically via the LAN (but it can't as the PPPoE is not set up on the default LAN connection that comes out of the box). At the moment, perhaps the 2 connections (the default LAN that comes setup out of the box during installation; and the DSL one I created) are in conflict each setup to automatically connect, etc. What do I need to do so that when my friend (complete newbie) boots into Mandriva One, it smoothly and automatically connects to the internet using PPPoE? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I really haven't the slightest idea on how to do it, but just "food for thought", would it be feasible using the file .kde/Autostart ? Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_204 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Keith, thanks for your reply but no. It is something that needs to be done within the Mandriva Control Center, under Networks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Im using pppoe, mandriva 2008.1. configure it via adsl-setup , am not sure if it will prompt you to run adsl on boot., but if not, you may put it inside /etc/rc.d/rc.local. and on my config, when I setup eth0 to start at boot, it will have conflict with ppp0, so I set it not to start auto and when ppp0 went up, it will also up.

stef_204 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yes, I think that possibly the conflict between the LAN and the DSL connection is what is causing the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
