No connecting using PPPoE

[exbattery]

hi

First of all, sorry for my poor english, it's because i'm hungarian.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Just before when the problem apperared i was installing linux to another winchester and tried to make internet connection with PPPoE.
I tried everything - i'm a beginner in linux - even i changed the MTU, as well.
Anyways, i couldn't make it so i switched it off, changed the hard drive to the Xp's winchester and guess what, Xp is unable the establish Internet connection via PPPoE.

I thought maybe i had killed the network card but yesterday i borrowed another from a friend and it still doesn't want to work.

So now i'll try to do what you guys suggested and will inform you what happened.

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I've created a new thread for your issue here.

Note: You will need to post complete details of your configuration and your specific issue in this new thread for us to help you.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Thanks

Hi from Hungary!
I have exactly the same problem.
i tried these 2 comands but the first one (netsh winsock reset catalog) is wrong. At least the prompt says there's no command like this.
The 2nd is ok, i was able to reset TCP/IP stack. But still not working.
I don't know what to do, i even changed NIC but it was useless.
The system says i have Internet and everything works fine...

Oops, i have already posted to the other thread. Sorry.
Please John, delete those replies, i'm going to reply here then.

Well, i have two hard drives and as i'm a beginner in Linux i wanted to be as careful as i could and had disconnected the HDD with the XP on it and after this i started to install Linux to the other HDD.
So i installed it then tried to make a PPPoE connection (with Linux), i didn't make it and was fed up with that so i shut Linux down disconnected the Linux HDD, connected the Xp HDD and after this Xp just wasn't able to make a PPPoE connection. It said there was something wrong with the password or username ( message error 619).
This was a Realtek NIC. I updated the NIC's driver, then i replaced it to a Compaq NIC and it's still the same. Then i changed back the Realtek and tried those commands wich were suggested in the other thread where the guy had the similar problem like me. (netsh winsock reset catalog, netsh int ip reset reset.log)
Only the second one was accepted by the prompt but it helped something because now i can make PPPoE connection but when i open a page a little window comes in and says "the explorer cannot open the page".
That's all. I don't know what to do...
