pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

Yes. You can run a 32 bit version on 64 bit machines, but the 64 bit version won't work on 32 bit machines.

I haven't tried it but it is surprising that somewhere along the way, there was no objection to not being a 64 bit machine.

If you can obtain the 32 bit version of Kubuntu, it should work better.

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

I'm using Kubuntu Karmic on a dual boot machine with Kubuntu Jaunty.

In Jaunty, I'm using wicd. In Karmic I'm NOT using wicd or network manager, I'm only using

sudo pppoeconf
sudo pon dsl-provider

What happens after you type in a terminal the above two lines?

Type this

ifconfig

You should see something like

kevin@jj:~$ ifconfig
