PPPOE doesn't work in Sabayon 5.5 Gnome

[adXok]

Live DVD booting perfect:
Network configuration -> DSL -> PPPOE ->
user:xxxx
pass: xxxx

OK.

Firefox - no connection!

Puppy Linux 5.2 booting like a charm:
Network Connection - PPPOE - user and pass - START

Firefox: voila! There it is.

Question: what is wrong with Sabayon and its pppoe?

A search using the SL Forums Search facility threw up the following thread: PPPoE won't work [Solved]. See if that works.

I had seen that thread. And no, it doesn't help.


Adding my username and pass into the dsl -> pppoe settings and giving it a tick on connect automatically seem to do nothing at all.

So I cannot risk to install Sabayon without being able to setup the network connection to work first with the Live DVD.

Hi,

i just downloaded sabayon 5.0 gnome, and i am having problems with INTERNET experience.
Please have in mind that i don't tend to use terminal.

i did a quick search on the forum and i see people are having network problems with 5.0, but i am not sure if this is the same issue.

I did few tests to narrow the problem:

first test
1) inserted sabayon 4.2gnome x86 32bit, and booted with live session, and used NetworkManager Applet to input my username and password for my adsl connection; result= everything works OK

second test
2) inserted sabayon 5.0gnome x86 32bit, and booted with live session, and used NetworkManager Applet to input my username and password for my adsl connection; result= regular surfing works ok, but internet services such as gmail, meebo.com...etc, wont to work.


Just to be sure i repeated those tests few times

Evidently the problem wasn't there in v4.2.
Guys, the nightmare of one to call himself a developer is ruin something that a have been working!
Please be careful.

if it doesn't work then you might give a try to rpppoe
in my case also dsl connection fails most of time but i installed rpppoe and works like charm

you may try to configure the net using the command:

Code: Select all

sudo net-setup  OR
sudo net-config
