    DSl connection asks for password every time

    Hello,
    I'm new here on this forum. This is my first post.
    I'm also relative new to linux, about 1 month. I tried Linux Mint and now Kubuntu.
    I manage to Install Kubuntu, costumize the appearnce a bit: themes, walpapers and so on.
    I have a issue though with my Internet connection.
    I'm using ppoe and I configured, well I think, only that it asks for password every time I log in, when starting a new session.
    I don't know if this has been resolved and how. I will post my info here and also I have a screenshot if needed, only that I don't see a Attach files on this forum. Maybe you can suggest a decent image hosting service, which doesn't require premium and so on.

    This is the info I could provide using the forum guide for getting help PLEASE-READ-BEFORE-POSTING-IN-HELP-THE-NEW-GUY-lt-lt-lt
    A lot a info. For this particular help maybe is too much information. But I'm not complaining. I will copy paste from here, if I will need help with something else
    As a note, an option into the user profile for submiting this info to be available into every post will be a nice forum feature.
    Anyway, if you can help, please let me know. That password thing is very annoying.

    Welcome to our Forum and to Kubuntu Linux.

    Question: You are actually using a dial-up modem? You aren't using a DSL modem and a router?
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Hi and thank you for the welcome.

      I'm not using anything like that. I have an Ethernet cable which "comes" directly from my ISP into my PC. All I have to do is to create a DSL connection (pppoe) and input my username and password there. And that' it. In theory
      I have a configured router in my house but I don't used. I have it for my tablet, for the wifi, but since I rarely use it, I prefer to leave the router out of it. If I would connect through my router right now, probably the password prompt would disappear, but how I said this is not the point.
      Thanks!

          Solved. On another forum a user suggested to check "All users may connect to this network". Now is fine. I posted here the answer in case this happens to others.
          Have a nice day!


          PS. I don't want to be mean, I have no reason to. Everybody helps here voluntarily but I posted my problem on a generic Romanian forum which is not Kubuntu specific not even IT specific and I got my working answer in less than a day. Maybe a forum re-organization to be more efficient or something...
          Thanks anyway!
