Thanks, I will try ASAP this solution and I will post a message about this configuration trial. Only a doubt: which address to choose for the eth0 device? I have found some documents about my modem that give the IP address of the device: do I have to relate the ethernet address to it? The indicated IP has been reported in many italian sites, and it has been obtined using modem-PC connection through COM1 and telnetting to it (by the guys who posted the message): Ip Address Mask If Name BCast Addr MaxReasm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 lo-0 1 65535 192.168.222.254 255.255.255.252 eth-0 1 65535 I suppose the address should be in the form 192.168.X.X, is it right ? routing > insert dns server IP DNS server are not provided: what choice, then? given by the server ?

That's it. You don't even need to install rp-ppoe. Kinternet will launch .
OK, I understand the point. I will communicate my successful/unsuccesful trials in the next days. L
Try to ping the dns server IP, this should launch the connection.
