This chapter covers the configuration of Ubuntu to connect to the internet via a broadband DSL modem. Before proceeding with this chapter, it is important to understand the dangers of connecting a system directly to a DSL modem. Once the connection is established the Ubuntu system will be directly visible to anyone on the internet. It is important to ensure that you have a firewall installed and running on the system to protect it from outside attack. The Firestarter firewall provides an easy to use and flexible firewall configuration environment. Before reading this chapter we recommend first reading [[Using Firestarter to Configure an Ubuntu 10.x Firewall]].
Once installed execute sudo ppoeconf command again to view the initial screen:

Press Enter top begin the process. pppoeconf will scan your network devices until it finds a modem and then prompt you to enter the information provided to you by your DSL provider. Enter this information and exit pppoeconf.
