hey, I'm having a weird problem with my modem. It used to work fine, but I was tweaking the etc/init.d/rc file, and now weird things are happening. Every time I boot up, Knoppix detects my adsl modem on eth0. Then I get a message: "starting ppp services". Once I get into knoppix, I can't access the internet (The website could not be found), although ping and ifconfig indicate that eh0 seems to work, no problem. So I have to run the ADSL/PPPOE configuration tool in the KNOPPIX menu on the taskbar in order to get the modem to work.

I used to be able to use the internet from bootup, without having to run pppoeconf, but now it's not the same. Plus, I never used to get the "starting ppp services" thing at boot up. Any ideas how to fix this?
