It is often -easier to sniff those values from a machine which can successfully connect -rather than try to pry them out of the DSL provider. - -To use \fBpppoe-sniff\fR, you need two computers, a DSL modem and -an Ethernet hub (\fInot\fR an Ethernet switch.) - -If the DSL modem normally connects directly to your computer's -Ethernet card, connect it to the "uplink" port on the Ethernet hub. -Plug two computers into normal ports on the hub. On one computer, run -whatever software the DSL provider gave you on whatever operating -system the DSL provider supports. On the other computer, run Linux and -log in as root. - -On the Linux machine, put the Ethernet interface into promiscuous mode -and start \fBpppoe-sniff\fR. If the ethernet interface is \fIeth0\fR, -for example, type these commands: - -.nf - ifconfig eth0 promisc - pppoe-sniff -I eth0 -.fi - -On the other machine, start your DSL connection as usual. After a short -time, \fBpppoe-sniff\fR should print recommendations for the value -of \fBPPPOE_EXTRA\fR. Set this value in \fB/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf\fR. -If \fBpppoe-sniff\fR indicates that something special is required in -\fBPPPOE_EXTRA\fR, please e-mail this to \fBpppoe@roaringpenguin.com\fR -along with the name of your ISP and the manufacturer and model number of -your DSL modem. This information will be collated and provided on the -PPPoE web page for users who do not have two computers. - -After \fBpppoe-sniff\fR finishes (or you stop it if it seems hung), -remember to turn off promiscuous mode: - -.nf - ifconfig eth0 -promisc -.fi - -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \-I \fIinterface\fR -The \fB\-I\fR option specifies the Ethernet interface to use.
