Same here when I connect. > It doesn't seem to make a difference whether I load the pppoe module or > not. Well, if you're using th pppoe package, you don't need the pppoe module in the kernel.

Is > this correct? I was also confused when I was trying to configure pppoe here... Both approaches sem to work! Now... You didn't say if your connection did work properly or not. Mine does, and this is what I get in syslog: Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppd[7363]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppd[7363]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppd[7363]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0 Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppoe[7365]: PADS: Service-Name: '' Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppoe[7365]: PPP session is 47266 Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppd[7363]: kernel does not support PPP filtering Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppd[7363]: local IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Nov 19 11:19:45 localhost pppd[7363]: remote IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx J. --
