pppoe connection

[raleeha]

Hello VL user community!

i´m really new to VL and installed VL Light 6.0 from Live CD. Always when i try to connect to internet i get error:

Code:

pppoe-start
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 191: 4372 Terminated $CONNECT "$Q" >/dev/null 2>&1

Code:

pppoe-status
pppoe-status: Link is down (can´t read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe

I do know really know whats exactly meaning about this.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

greetings raleeha

pppoe-setup is well configured ...

but i get now an internet connection ...

i added in /etc/rc.d/rc.local at the end of file ...

/usr/sbin/pppoe-start ...

and after that i started pppoe-start and it worked fine ...

but thanx for replies

mine did not :

root:# pppoe-status
pppoe-status: Link is attached to ppp0, but ppp0 is down

LAST LINES of my rc.local

## You may add custom initialisation below this

/usr/sbin/pppoe-start

but it shows "connected" on start up

Try delete previous connection by executing command pppoe-stop by root. Stop on "no pppoe connections". Then try reconfigure your connection by pppoe-setup if is wrong.

rc.local is script that executes on boot. It's only run your connection automatically if this properly configured.

yes i know. BUT if i manually run pppoe-start, it connects..    but it does not when i added it to the rc.local file

You need to specify the full path in rc.local for a
command to work.

example:

/usr/sbin/pppoe-start
