Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Using PPPOE in Debian
Ok Debian gurus, my internet service provider changed from using a static ip address assigned to me to using pppoe. Since Debian has been set up to load my ethernet card with the static ip address, which file do I need to edit to change this. I will be using Roaring Penguin as my pppoe client. I know how to set that up. I just need some advice to edit the file that brings up eth0. Thanks in advance.

:) Debian (yes, I know you all want me to switch) :)
Never having to set up this kind of account, I'm not sure. You may want to look at /etc/network/interfaces.
Keep us posted.
Regards,

I believe RP will set this all up for you :D If it doesn't, ignore me
Ok boys and girls, I'm coming to you from within Debian. Got it set up sort of. For some reason, only can get RP pppoe to come up in root. Will need to get this figured out so I can go in user.
And yes, I checked the box for non-root users.

Whatever file you execute to connect, type "chmod 777 <filename>"...that means that pretty much anybody who feels like it can connect you to the internet, including your user accounts :) Chmod 777 whatever else you need to get it connected. Way to be, and enjoy your debian :)

I never did anything with the rights to pppoe's apps. I innstalled it as root, added adsl-start to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local and my connection was set up at startup-time.
Ther was nothing that limited me as a user to use the route or to run adsl-status to get current status and ip-address.

adsl-status I believe is available to all users. However, I think adsl-start and adsl-stop are root-only apps...gotta change some permissions if you don't start it at boot (although I DO recommend it at boot :))
