http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello all, my name is John and I am currently living in china but I'm from Virginia, I have just installed Ubuntu on my HP laptop and I am having a problem with the internet connection. At work there is a wireless connection that the computer will connect to with no problem but at home i have a Modem/Wireless route unit I'm guessing that's called a mini PPPOE? either way I can connect to the wireless no problem but even after trying sudo pppoeconf in terminal and going through everything it still will not connect to the internet, after starting the connection while still in the pppoeconf screen I go to a new terminal window and type plog and find it seems to try to connect but has a ussname: ERR and then it disconnects. I have made triple sure that the user name and the password are correct and it works fine when i switch over to windows 7. I also can't seem to be able to set up a connection by just plugging in the cat 5 network cable into the computer and trying to log in directly that way any help would be great thanks guys. (HowTos)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Ubuntu wireless PPPOE connection problems

Hello, I am living in China currently and i have to use a pppoe connection to connect to the internet. My problem occurs when i normally connect to the internet using the:

sudo pon dsl-provider

This connects me for around 25 seconds to the internet and than just hangs up and stops the connection. Does anyone know why this occurs?

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting a PPPoE connection to work over a wireless network.

My internet provider uses PPPoE to authenticate over the wireless network. My USB wireless device can connect to the WAP, but the PPPoE is where I start having problems. If I try to set up the PPPoE it tries to connect on the eth port instead of the wlan.

wireless non connection 24 weeks 6 days ago

Hi. This is an old problem for me, but apparently insolveable. Thought I'd try again, maybe someone here can help.

I cannot use the wireless internet connection in my house. My computer sees the connection. It is ChinaNet-zbgJ. The password is xutuhamh

The router is brand new, installed yesterday. The internet provider upgraded me and made the connection a bit faster.

The wired internet connection by default is configured properly in Ubuntu installation. We can directly dial-up via sudo pppoeconf, or connect to a cable which already on internet.

You guys know that on Ubuntu 12.04 DSL connection creats problem. It needs pppoeconf to connect with internet. But from today morning its not working also. No net connection on Ubuntu. But everything okay with windows 7. What to do now? I have already tried to setup again pppoeconf, but its not opening. After 100% pppoe gets hanged.

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and I use a 3G USB modem for my Internet connection.

I wanted to share this Internet connection with my girlfriend's laptop that is running Window XP. Basically, I created the the wireless connection on my laptop and now it just connects and disconnects all the time. Why is it doing this?

Hello

I use pppoe connection over wireless network, for long time I've used console, so I didn't had any problem with it, BUT - after installing gnome, I can't connect to the wireless ISP. On my network manager I see my wireless network, I can connected to it, but when I do it, I don't see DSL connection on my menu, If I only connect cable to it, DSL connection is showing again.

[ubuntu] wireless connection 3 years 15 weeks ago

My scenario is that a friends advent laptop would not connect to his wireless connection with the Ubuntu 9.10 I had installed on it for him. I went to have a look and it would not work and ended up bringing it home with me so I take bit more time over solving the problem.

Hello there,

I am pretty new to Linux, just installed 10.04 version. I really like it, but I have a serious problem with my wireless connection.
