dsl connection

[Mehrab]

I used to make a dsl (bridge) connection with knetworkmanager and it worked just fine, but after a fresh 10.10 install, I can not do that. KNM just tries to connect to Auto eth0 (and not to the connection that I made) but it can't. if I hover the curser over the network icon, it says "setting network addresses" but nothing will occur.
I can not even make a connection with "sudo pppoeconf", it would stop in the first step, where it tries to find the connected ports. but when I try "ifconfig -a" everything looks OK.

ifconfig -a
eth0   Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:5b:84:09:42 
     inet6 addr: fe80::219:5bff:fe84:942/64 Scope:Link

     RX bytes:13280 (13.2 KB) TX bytes:13280 (13.2 KB)

any thoughts?

Re: dsl connection

Well, I tried some tricks but they didn't work. so I finally installed "network-manager-gnome" instead of the kde deafault NM, and it's working now

Re: dsl connection

same problem here.
i made a dsl connection but when it comes to connecting the only connection that appears there is Auto eth0.

Re: dsl connection

Are you connecting to a router, or are you connecting directly to your dsl modem? With some dsl connections you have to adjust your MTU setting to allow for a required overhead for authentication with the provider. Depends on the provider. Mine does not not require this, but some do. If your provider requires a PPPoe connection you need to set your MTU to 1492 instead of the default 1500. Post back with the results of

ifconfig

andthe results of

cat /etc/network/interfaces
