Good article, but there's something I just don't understand. I have been using ADSL for over 2 years now with an external modem connected to an ethernet card in my server. I have used Windows 2000 Server, Redhat Linux 5.2, 6.0, 6.2, 7.0 and now FreeBSD 4.2, 4.3 on the server. At no time have I *ever* consciously used PPPoE to make the connection to my ISP. For every one of the operating systems above, I have configured the ethernet adapter to simply use IP. For the first year, I used DHCP to assign IP address and now I have a static IP address. No PPPoE anywhere. What gives with all this PPPoE ? Is there something I'm missing here ? Is it only needed for some DSL setups ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <ddavid_3@yahoo.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 9:42 AM Subject: PPPOE &ADSL on FreeBSD Tutorial > > I have not fully read the present thread on PPPOE on FreeBSD, so I'm > not sure if this is completely relevant, but this Tutorial has all the > help I have ever needed for connecting up with PPPOE: > > http://renaud.waldura.com/doc/freebsd/pppoe/ > > Cheers All, > > David > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
