This is the most popular question that I received currently from new Ubuntu and Debian users. This is probably because Ubuntu and Debian based operating system usually does not provide an obvious way to connect to the internet through ADSL Broadband Modem.
How to connect to internet through ADSL Broadband Modem
Here’s a quick guide for you to connect to the internet using ADSL broadband modem.
- From the desktop, go to ‘Application’, then’ Accessories’, then start the ‘Terminal’ application’
- From the console terminat, type ‘sudo pppoeconf’ to start the ADSL configuration application
- You’ll be presented with a screen prompting your ADSL login name and password
- Answer all the questions and press OK, the screen will exit, and you should be able to connect to the internet by now
Remember, type “pon dsl-provider” if you want to connect to the internet again after you’ve rebooted or switched off the computer.
