Radiant Metal Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am unable to configure internet connection in my Madriva One Spring 2009. I use a DSL connection PPPoE requiring username and password. Every time I configure it and test my connection, its says the network interface is down due to some error. Soon after it, the interface gets†up†again. Any Help?? [moved from Tips and Tricks by Greg2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Could you post the error here for us to see, and explain how you are configuring the connection? Welcome aboard! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant Metal Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I connect through a WAN miniport PPPoE. Mandriva detects the network automatically at eth1 and show IP address, gateway and DNS. When i go through ¨configure netwrok¨ and chose DSL, put my username and password, then I opt for ¨test you connection¨, it gets disconnected and task bar tells me that network interface is down at eth1. When I close the window showing the error, net work interface at eth1 is up again. I have tried so many times but all invain. I have tried all options (Wired connection, DSL, etc, by selecting pppoe) but all failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I believe that you need the rp-pppoe package installed, and I'm not sure if the Mandriva One CD includes it. Please open a terminal and post the output of rpm -qa | grep -i rp-pppoe if it's not listed in that output, you will need to d/l it with another system and install it in the Mandriva system.

Greg2 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 If you're using the i586 version, here's a direct link to it: rp-pppoe-3.8-6mdv2009.1.i586.rpm download it to a convenient location, then transfer it to your other system and install it by double clicking on it.
