Objectives

We assume here that you want to connect your LEAF router to the Internet via an ADSL PPPoE connection. What is described here corresponds to section 3.2.3 of the DSL How-To document. Your ADSL modem is supposed to be connected to eth0, while the traffic to your internal network goes through eth1.

What follows has been tested with Bering v1.0-rc1 on a 486er and a pentium machine, a rtl8139 compatible and a 3com network card connected to eth0 and eth1 and ADSL "T-online" service offered here in Germany.

The PPP-Howto and the DSL-Howto are two useful references for this section.

Comments on this section should be addressed to its maintainer: Eric Wolzak .
