[gobolinux-users] configuration internet access

[balazs gellert]

Hi Gobo-friends,

Thanks for your advice. I have just realized that what should be the
reason for my problem that I am not able to access net. The reason for
that I have to use pppoe (with login name and password) to connect the
net. So I installed ppp and rp-pppoe package onto my Gobo and edited
the pppoe config file. The first problem was that after installing the
pap-secrets and chap-secrets file was not generated, so I created them
manually and edited them with the proper login name and password.
After that I tried to connect to the net but I failed. I do not know
the reason for the failure. Maybe I should add my login data to the
NetworkOptions file as well, shouldn't I? Any idea?
Thanks for any help!
