Re: pppoe help ...

Either your not connected or your DNS server is no good which  converts names ie. google.com to a valid i.p. address

Verify your connection is up:

ping 8.8.8.8

No ping reply then your not connected :

I have no knowledge of pppoe to help you with a connection problem.

The cable and dsl providers in my area offer always on no login connections.

If ping replys then it's DNS nameserver problem.

Open xterm:

nslookup chub.slitaz.org 8.8.8.8

Enter

Should return:

tux@slitaz:~$ nslookup chub.slitaz.org 8.8.8.8

Server:    8.8.8.8

Address 1: 8.8.8.8 google-public-dns-a.google.com

Name:      chub.slitaz.org

Address 1: 128.153.144.160

The computer connects to google dns server @ i.p. address 8.8.8.8 and requests i.p. address for chub.slitaz.org

Google dns sends back correct i.p. address 128.153.144.160 for chub.slitaz.org

Add what's in bold to override the nameservers assigned by your isp:

#leafpad /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script

#!/bin/sh

# udhcpc script edited by Tim Riker

dns="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Error: should be called from udhcpc" && exit 1

Save/Exit/Reboot
