Are you absolutely sure of that? ISP's mainly use two different methods of assigning IP addresses to their customers. DHCP or PPPoE. If your ISP uses PPPoE, then you need to use pppd with a PPPoE plugin. If they use DHCP, then you don't use pppd at all. You just use a DHCP client on your machiine. Using pppd won't work at all. If there's any uncertainty on your part, maybe you could tell us what ISP you're using, and in what geographic region. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
