Internet-connection won't start at boottime...

[yessir]

Every time I reboot my box, I have to run 'pppoeconf' to get my Internet-connection started. A simple 'pon <provider>' won't do:

Code: Select all

Nov  9 18:49:51 localhost pppd[2489]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Nov  9 18:49:51 localhost pppd[2489]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery
Nov  9 18:50:31 localhost pppd[3339]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
Nov  9 18:50:31 localhost pppd[3340]: pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0

When I try to terminate the connection, it says that there is more than one running (even if I stopped all before and started only ONE):

Code: Select all

debian:/# poff
/usr/bin/poff: More than one pppd running and no -a option and
no arguments supplied. Nothing stopped.

When I run 'pppoeconf' it rewrites /etc/ppp/peers/<provider> and adds the following lines in the end:

Code: Select all

plugin rp-pppoe.so eth1
user "___"

['___' is replaced by the username given by the ISP.)

But my Internet-connection should go over 'eth0' not 'eth1'!
When I edit the file to 'plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0' after booting (and without running 'pppoeconf') and try to start the connection with 'pon <provider>' it won't work...

System:

• Athlon AMD 2400+ XP
• Dualboot (WinXP and Debian testing)
• Kernel: Linux debian 2.6.14.1 #1 PREEMPT Wed Nov 9 18:07:23 CET 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

Any help is appreciated... Thanks in advance!
