How to configure a pppoe connection?

Hi,
I would like to know how to configure a pppoe connexion? I am testing version 11.2 on live cd but I can’t manage to connect my laptop. I used the “green plug software”, I filled all the blanks (I am not a total beginner because I have been using Mandriva for a year) but afterwards I can’t select pppoe instead of eth0 :\ What should I do?

I read on this forum NET INSTALL PPPOE - Alionet, communauté francophone d’entraide openSUSE et SUSE Linux that the only reason that I can’t configure a pppoe connexion is because I am using a live version of 11.2 as result that it only recognizes an ethernet connexion and a modem (everything I said, is said in the forum I linked, but you’ll have to read it in french :wink: )

I try to configure a pppoe connexion to Télé2, my internet connexion provider. I live in France. My modem is a Bewan ADSL ethernet 100, no need to configure it.

Thank you.

Have a look at this older thread.

A link with a tutorialfor setting pppoe on 11.0 is there. Should work with minimal changes on 11.2 but I do not know if the live version has all packages built in for your specific set-up.

Try a forum search too for similar topics.

Good luck.

thank you very much! I will try with the DVD version of the 11.3 in 19 days, for now I have to pass my baccalauréat, so I am busy!
Thanks again!
