pppd??. You dont run anything to connect to an adsl ethernet. perhaps your mta is not configured.
Umm, right now my machine is configured to use Pacenet. So its running PPP. From my terminal:
<copy> rohit@mark2:~$ ps aux|grep ppp|grep -v grep root 3198 0.0 0.1 2768 880 ? Ss 13:18 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd call dsl-provider </copy>
I have configured using pppoeconf to start the connection at boot time. But even that shouldn't possibly be the cause.
