Thanks for the info Rueben however, I did already sign up with Verizon so I
want to try to make it work at least for the time being....so ....Does
anyone know how to configure one pc with Red Hat Linux 7.2 to work with
Verizon DSL? I have been having alot of trouble setting up a pppoe app that
I got from roaringpenguin.com. Isn't there an easier way to do this with
network configurator? or should I instead try to do this via a router with a
dhcp?
Verizon uses assigns a dynamic IP address [ie, not static]...the PPPOE app
gives me a timed out error message....any ideas? Rueben you mention
SUSE....but would Red Hat 8 have this PPPOE app already included too?
