Bug Description

On startup the ppp0 interface is set up, but is not working.

There is nothing in plog X and ping google.com doesn't show anything.
The dsl connection was created using pppoeconf.

/etc/network/interfaces :

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
provider dsl-provider

    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

 After using sudo poff and sudo pon dsl-provider, evrything is setup properly.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

It is still an issue with Intrepid, exactly the same problem.

Where is the question ?

Anyway you can close this bug. I'm using a router now and I'm not anymore affected by it.
