Hi
I found a couple of threads on this topic but none of them seemed to be plain enough for a newbie to understand. I use an ADSL connection for my home box. The connection uses pppoe for authentication. When I start the computer, I have to run the following commands on every run to get access to internet:
su
route del default
route add default gw 81.91.128.10Here is what my rc.conf reads:

please do not crosspost.
I really have no time to read twice the same. As I said there if for some reason you have to change the root after you have connected you could create an additional daemon for it. If you do not understand how to do that, you should have asked there.

Sorry pressh. I thought since the response might be useful for someone how digs the forum, it would be better to have a separate thread for it. I'll continue in the same thread.

Please refer to this wiki for the detailed and correct steps to set it up:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PPP … _with_pppd
And remember to set eth0 up in rc.conf as follow:
eth0="eth0 0.0.0.0 up"I don't know why you have to set route up manually. I thought that the pppd daemon will do it for you.
And... just use /etc/rc.d/pppd not /etc/rc.d/adsl.
Hope this helps.
