| volan | i am trying to remotely help my father setup a dsl connection from 300 miles away. When I originally setup up the box (11.10), I thought it was odd because the connection just worked. I didn't even have to enter a password. Now months later it has stopped working and the provider (dsl extreme) says they do not support ubuntu. | 21:43 |
| volan | we have walked through the suggestions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1471587.html | 21:43 |
| volan | but i have not been able to find any help when pppoeconf doesn't work | 21:44 |
| volan | it says: | 21:44 |
| volan | orry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please | 21:46 |
| volan | check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem. | 21:46 |
| volan | how can i tell if there is another "pppoe" process running? | 21:48 |

| holstein | volan: i would just give him a router | 23:09 |
| holstein | can you get it working? sure... can you explain to him how? maybe not... i would have him call the ISP and just say "i dont know what OS i run" | 23:11 |
