Hey folks! I just upgraded to Fedora Core 1.0 and am having problems with
my PPPoE connection. It worked perfectly while I was running Mandrake 9.x
and also when I was running Red Hat 7.3. Under Fedora, however, it says it
is active, but none of the web browsers can talk to the internet. Have
others had this or a similar problem? Is there some way for me to see if it
is actually talking to my DSL modem?

Thanks,
Rick

pppoe -A -I eth0 (if eth0 is your ethernet device to the DSL modem)

After established the connection check:

- ifconfig ppp0 -> is there a connection?
- tail -f /var/log/messages -> what does syslog say?
- iptables -L -n -v -> how is netfilter/iptables configured

There might be many reasons why you DSL connection seems not to work
properly. Too less information to debug.

Yes, I had this problem and solved it by setting up rp-pppoe using
/sbin/adsl-setup as root. You can set it to run at boot and it worked
fine right away whereas the RH system would not play ball just like you
experienced.
