[Courses] [Networking] interfacing ppp0 to eth0 ?

[Laura Bowser]

When I had a dynamic IP via DSL (verizon), I had to use the PPPoE 
drivers available from roaringpenguin.  They handled "getting" the IP, 
then in my firewall/nat setup, I used ppp0.

I don't know if the settings have changed in the last few years though, 
so you might want to wait until you get more information from someone 
else.

(I switched to Speakeasy - 2 static IPs!)
