I've done it with adsl and cable on Mandriva. There are two aspects to your project. If you are asking about rp-pppoe because you don't have an adsl connection yet or, even if you do, and your isp uses pppoe, I recommend it. It should be in your main urpmi source; become root and: urpmi rp-pppoe as root, configure your connection: adsl-setup start, stop, as root: adsl-start adsl-stop or set up a user with visudo to use sudo to control the connection as normal user. You could put adsl-start at the end of /etc/rc.local if you want to dial-up during every boot but I prefer to start after boot because, if the isp is down, boot will stall for a long time waiting for a timeout. There are other strategies. Mandriva puts guarddog in contrib, so make sure you have a contrib source or download the latest rpm from Simon's site and: urpmi guarddog or urpmi /path/to/guarddog.rpm Urpmi will prompt to install iptables. As root, start guarddog from cli with guarddog click on Help to read the very clear manual. I think it's about the easiest gui around. Once you have configured guarddog, it's loaded automatically at boot. Be sure to enable the dns, http, mail, ftp etc. protocols that you use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
