Most providers send the needed login information per mail. Some providers describe it in odd ways, assuming the user to input the data in their "user-friendly" setup programs. But in fact, these applications generate usuall PPP user names and passwords from the entered data. You can find the real names too and input the correct data in the dialog box.

For example, this are methods used some german providers:

Sample username (alias "login" or "login name"): 11111111111

T-Online T-DSL:
additional data:
sample T-Onlinenummer: 222222222222
sample Mitbenutzer: 0001

complete username: 111111111111222222222222#0001@t-online.de

Telekom Business Online (DSL):

complete username: t-online-com/111111111111@t-online-com.de

1und1 uses another scheme (using above example):

complete username: 1und1/11111111111

Cyberfun:

complete username: sdt/11111111111

Komtel:
additional data:
downstream speed class: 768

complete username: 11111111111@FoniNet-768

Net Cologne:

complete username: 11111111111@netcologne.de

Q-DSL:

complete username: 11111111111@q-dsl.de

Versatel:

complete username: 11111111111@VersaNet-1024k

Webnetix:

complete username: sdt/11111111111

Most people using popular dialup providers prefer the options 'noauth' and 'defaultroute' in their configuration and remove the 'nodetach' option. Should I check your configuration file and change these settings where neccessary?

USE PEER DNS

22.

You need at least one DNS IP address to resolve the normal host names. Normally your provider sends you addresses of useable servers when the connection is established. Would you like to add these addresses automatically to the list of nameservers in your local /etc/resolv.conf file? (recommended)

Many providers have routers that do not support TCP packets with a MSS higher than 1460. Usually, outgoing packets have this MSS when they go through one real Ethernet link with the default MTU size (1500). Unfortunately, if you are forwarding packets from other hosts (i.e. doing masquerading) the MSS may be increased depending on the packet size and the route to the client hosts, so your client machines won't be able to connect to some sites. There is a solution: the maximum MSS can be limited by pppoe. You can find more details about this issue in the pppoe documentation.

Should pppoe clamp MSS at 1452 bytes?

If unsure, say yes.

(If you still get problems described above, try setting to 1412 in the dsl-provider file.)

The interfaces file generated by pppoeconf appears to be invalid. This is probably because pppoeconf is unable to handle your original interfaces file. Should pppoeconf nevertheless change your interfaces file with the one that appears to be invalid?
If you agree, you will probably break your network connectivity after rebooting, and cause some local problems if lo is down. Your original interfaces file will be moved to $REALINTFILE~ so you can restore it.
If not, you will have to make sure that $iface is configured before starting your DSL connection and start the connection manually.

Note that this situation is not expected and you should consider submitting a bug report against pppoeconf including your original interfaces file and the one generated by pppoeconf.

32.

The DSL connection has been triggered. You can use the "plog" command to see the status or "ifconfig ppp0" for general interface info.

Sorry, no working ethernet card could be found. If you do have an interface card which was not autodetected so far, you probably wish to load the driver manually using the modconf utility. Run modconf now?
