Double posting is probably not encouraged, but I want to get some more attnetion to this and update it. 1.when I use "pon" it comes up with the mesage "cannot access "/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider":acess denied" (or something along those lines.) I have typed "chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppoe" so I should be able to do this, no? Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
