Hi,
I recently got a PPPoE connectivity. I am from Pune, India and my service provider is called Jetnet, but this hopefully should work for other connectivity providers too.
All thanks to the FreeBSD Handbook that guided me on the configuration. Putting this up here so that it may help someone else.
Note - My service provider does not give a modem. I directly connect to a switch. Also my service provider uses dynamic IPs so I didn't get any static IPs.
Kindly find given below ppp.conf that resides in
.
Kindly note - In the above file, replace the jetnet with your service provider and put your username and password in the username and password
After you connect the cable to your pc, run the following command:
Replace jetnet with your service provider name in the above command.
Hope this helps.
