6. Add one of two files: /etc/ppp/options.eth0 or /etc/ppp/options.eth1. The choice depends on
which LAN is connected to the ADSL modem. If you use LAN1 to connect to the ADSL
modem, then add /etc/ppp/options.eth0. If you use LAN2 to connect to the ADSL modem,
then add /etc/ppp/options.eth1. The file context is shown below:
Type your username (the one you set in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
files) after the “name” option. You may add other options as desired.
7. Set up DNS
If you are using DNS servers supplied by your ISP, edit the file
/etc/resolv.conf by adding the following lines of code:
nameserver ip_addr_of_first_dns_server
nameserver ip_addr_of_second_dns_server
For example:
nameserver 168..95.1.1
nameserver 139.175.10.20
8. Use the following command to create a pppoe connection:
pppd eth0
The eth0 is what is connected to the ADSL modem LAN port. The example above uses LAN1.
To use LAN2, type:
pppd eth1
9. Type ifconfig ppp0 to check if the connection is OK or has failed. If the connection is OK,
you will see information about the ppp0 setting for the IP address. Use ping to test the IP.
10. If you want to disconnect it, use the kill command to kill the pppd process.
NFS (Network File System) The Network File System (NFS) is used to mount a disk partition on a remote machine, as if it
were on a local hard drive, allowing fast, seamless sharing of files across a network. NFS allows
users to develop applications for the W311/321/341, without worrying about the amount of disk
space that will be available. The W311/321/341 supports NFS protocol for client.
