yeah, me too...I'm using a desktop at work, pII, 64M, knx-hdinstalled (3.2)...it has both eth card and internal modem (hard modem)...the three external hard modems I tried yesterday were not being found by kppp _or_ pppconfig, finally got the internal to work.

Then, it would dialup, but no name resolution, so I tried

ifconfig

and eth0 was there, hanging out....

so I killed eth0 with

ifconfig eth0 down

I disconnected from the net, and restarted kppp (which is what I was using in the end), and everything worked fine.

Reboot this am, and eth0 is still there, causing the same probs. This computer needs to go out to a client, who only speaks russian and is a pensioner, and I'm trying to set it up for them so it's all easy (big fat icons on desktop kinda stuff) - any ideas on how to stop eth0 from appearing?
