 marge: the easies way to do so is probably running the System setting -> network ... -> New -> xDSL
<marge> I'm wanting to take this new install of fedora to my mother-in-law's and hook it up on here pppoe dsl.
<fatal_> or using "adsl-setup"
<fatal_> marge: by using "adsl-setup" and "ifup ppp0", yes, I guess so
<che> fatal_: rather easy to still get inet with pppoe
<che> fatal_: adsl-setup did it for me
<marge> fatal_, are  you saying I need to implement commands:   "adsl-setup" and "ifup ppp0"  ?
<fatal_> marge: well, you have to run "adsl-setup" to set up the configuration files
<che> marge: you just have to issue them :)
<che> marge: as root
<fatal_> marge: then run "ifup ppp0" to actually get connected
<che> marge: adsl-setup is an interactive script
<che> marge: it will ask you then setup the dsl con
 move the ifcfg-eth0 first. mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.backup
 xDSL is a gui?
<|allstar|> yes..or internet connection setup
<|allstar|> should be under applications-->system settings ...or something like that...
 marge: ok. well, moving ifcfg-eth0 still applies. you'll only need ifcfg-lo and ifcfg-ppp0. be sure to remember the "gotcha" regarding the nickname for the profile - use ppp0 as the nickname, and hopefully it'll just work.
