pppoe not connecting upon bootup

['Forum Post]

Hello, I was having exactly the same problem. I went to the #ubuntu-es
and someone helped me there. I'll show you what I did.

I opened the file with this command:


Code:
--------------------
    sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
--------------------


In my interfaces file I had this:


Code:
--------------------
    

  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  

  # The loopback network interface

  auto lo

  iface lo inet loopback

  

  # This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.

  # They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.

  mapping hotplug

  script grep

  map eth0

  

  # The primary network interface

  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  

  auto dsl-provider

  iface dsl-provider inet ppp

  provider dsl-provider

  

  # added by pppoeconf

  auto eth0

  

  pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

  
--------------------




The problem is that the line auto eth0 written in line 22 by the
pppoeconf. What I did was comment that line and add auto eth0 in line
16 below iface eth0 inet dhcp, and I eliminated the spaces before the
last line, so my interfaces end up looking like this:


Code:
--------------------
    

  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  

  # The loopback network interface

  auto lo

  iface lo inet loopback

  

  # This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.

  # They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.

  mapping hotplug

  script grep

  map eth0

  

  # The primary network interface

  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  auto eth0

  auto dsl-provider

  iface dsl-provider inet ppp

  provider dsl-provider

  

  # added by pppoeconf

  #auto eth0

  

  pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

  
--------------------




Then I restarted my computer to see if it worked and it did.



Hope it works for you.



Greetings,

Felipe
