HellO everyone.
In Mumbai, India a internet service provider called Pacenet exists.
The connection is thru a LAN card.
In WinXP they provide internet by installing a protocol called raspppoe.
Then they install a program.. whr we have to give the username and password.
In Knoppix I tried sudo pppoeconf... the network was detected .. it asked for my username and password.. but then i wasnt connected to the internet.
I called up the customer care n they said i need to pay 40% more to get internet on linux.
Can they actually block my connection coz i use linux? or are they doing this so dat they dont have to bother with supporting linux.
Please help me connect to the internet on this service.
