tkpppoe - A GUI for managing PPPoE Connections

- - -

Introduction

- -TkPPPoE is a graphical user interface for managing PPPoE connections. It -performs two different functions: -

TkPPPoE lets you define connection properties. This step must -be done as root. -
TkPPPoE lets you start and stop PPPoE connections. This step -may be done as a normal user, depending on how you configured the connection. -

- -

Defining Connections

- -To define connections, start TkPPPoE as root. You can do this from -a terminal by typing tkpppoe, or from the KDE or GNOME menus -by selecting Internet : TkPPPoE. The following window pops up: - -

- - -

-Because you have not yet defined any connections, the connection property -window also pops up: - -

- - -You can pop up the connection property window at any time by clicking -New Connection... You can edit the properties of an existing -connection by selecting the connection's name and clicking -Properties... -

Basic Information

- -Let's fill in the basic information: -

For Connection Name, enter a unique name for this connection. It -can be anything you like, but must contain only letters, numbers, underscores -or dashes. In particular, it can't contain spaces. If you have only one -PPPoE connection, a good name is Default. -
For User Name, enter the user name supplied by your ISP. Enter -only the user name; do not enter an "@isp.com" part. -
For Network, you may have to enter your ISP's domain name. -(For example, isp.com.) Some DSL providers add this to your user -name; others do not. You may have to experiment a bit. The two most likely -choices are your ISP's domain name, or blank. Try both. -
For Password, enter the password your ISP provided you with. -

- -

NIC and DNS

-Click on the NIC and DNS tab: - -

For Ethernet Interface, enter the Ethernet interface connected -to the DSL modem. It is something like eth0 or eth1. Click -on ... to browse a list of detected Ethernet interfaces. -
For DNS Setup, you have three options: -
1. From Server means that the system will obtain DNS information from -the PPPoE server. This is the correct choice for most ISPs. -
2. Specify means that you will enter the IP addresses of your DNS -servers manually. In this case, enter the addresses in the Primary DNS -and Secondary DNS entries. -
3. Do not Adjust means that you want RP-PPPoE to leave your -DNS setup alone. Use this if you are running your own caching DNS server -or know that you don't want the DNS setup touched. -
-

- -

Options

-Click on the Options tab: - -

If you want ordinary users to be able to start and stop this connection, -enable Allow use by non-root users. If you do not enable this, -non-root users will be able to monitor the connection, but not control it. -
If you want to use synchronous PPP, enable Use synchronous PPP. -This is recommended as it conserves CPU usage, but may not work on some -(misconfigured) Linux kernels. -
For Firewalling, you have three options: -
1. Stand-Alone installs a simple firewall ruleset for stand-alone -machines. Use this if you have only a single computer connected to the DSL -modem. -
2. Masquerading installs a simple firewall ruleset for using -your Linux computer as an Internet sharing device. If you have two Ethernet -cards, you can connect one card to the DSL modem and the other to an -internal LAN. The masquerading firewall ruleset lets internal machines -share the DSL connection. -
3. None. If you already have your own firewall rules, or you wish -to run servers on your machine, select None. This is not recommended -unless you take steps to secure your machine, and know what you are doing. -
-

- -

Advanced

-Click on the Advanced tab: - -

- -In most cases, you can leave AC-Name and Service-Name blank. -In some cases, your ISP may require you to enter information in these fields; -contact your ISP for more information. - -

Controlling Connections

-For these examples, run tkpppoe as a normal user (not root). -The main window appears like this: - -

- -

To start a connection, press Start. The two LEDs flash red -and grey. If the connection is established, they turn green. -
To stop a connection, press Stop. -

- -

The two rectangles to the right of the connection name are the -status LEDs. The top LED corresponds to transmitted data and -the bottom to received. The LEDs are colored as follows: -

Grey -- connection is not established. -
Flashing red/grey -- connection is being started. -
Green -- connection is up, but idle. -
Yellow -- connection is up and data is being sent or received. -
Red -- connection has been lost, but the system is trying to reestablish it. -

- -

-When a connection is established, two graphs appear: - -

- -

- -The left (red) graph shows transmitted packets and the average -transmission speed (in bits per second) over the sample time. The -right (green) graph shows received packets. - -

Miscellaneous Information

The connection menu has an entry called User's Manual which -will pop up this user manual (if you have Netscape installed.) -
You can define multiple PPPoE connections, but you should not use -more than one simultaneuously unless you feel comfortable editing scripts -and setting up routing tables. By default, TkPPPoE tries to add a default -route for connections. This does not work well with multiple simultaneous -connections. -
If you exit from TkPPPoE, connections which are up remain up. You -have to explicitly stop connections if you want them terminated. -
