Re: Sarge 3.1 DATAONE connection problem

Here's my:
debian:/home/prakash# cat /etc/network/interfaces
### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
### END OF DEBCONF AREA.  PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.
# please do not modify the following line
# please do not modify the following line
# please do not modify the following line

iface dsl-provider inet ppp
     provider dsl-provider
# please do not modify the following line
     pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

What to do?What to do?What to do?What to do?
