I have Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows xp in dual boot
FYI I have tried the methods listed in the thread created a couple of days back
but no luck
The computers appear but I am not able to access the net
I have tried pppoeconf
Please help ... i am new to linux

Please give more details like connection type.

The connection is bsnl dataone
The ADSL modem is UTStarcom UT300R2U and connected through ethernet

Use 'pppoeconf' command from terminal to configure your Dataone connection in Ubuntu.

I tried that
Now the net is acting very weirdly
It starts then after 20 -30 seconds disconnects and then I reconnect ,again it disconnects plz help

Hi I got the net on Ubuntu 7.1, with Reliance Data card, Huawei EC325, during many days. Now, I can not.
PPP daemon has died = A modem hang up the phone (exit code = 16). Var/log/messages = warning: secret file /etc/ppp/papsecrets has world and/or group access.
Please, can u help me to reconnect ?

the command is not just pppoeconf

its sudo pppoeconf
