I've been trying to set up my internet connection and router with Ubuntu 12.04 and I've been having some issues. I am currently trying to connect directly through my modem using the PPPoE username and password provided by my ISP. I ran sudo pppoeconf and input my information but was still unable to connect.

Furthermore, my computer is now unable to connect to my wired network and upon startup spends about 5 minutes configuring network options before allowing 60 seconds to complete its task and eventually booting without all networks properly configured.

I am new to Ubuntu and Linux and any beginner friendly help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I am still unable to connect to the internet and I've grown to accept that Ubuntu won't successfully interface with my Japanese modem, but I was wondering if there was any way to avoid the 'configuring networks' delay on boot that I have been experiencing.

It's quite simple. Just click on the NETWORK icon on top right. Click EDIT ...... and in that, go to DSL tab. and click for NEW. You will bhave 4 or more tabs. go through each of them. and only fill the information which you know. and in the mac address field select your own mac address. Good Luck,.

You need to look at:

network manager says “device not managed”

Although, I am not sure this is an instant fix or anything ..

I have had the unfortunate experience of tinkering with pppoeconf in kubuntu in the past.

I was able to configure pppoe easily when I disabled bridge mode in my router settings. Check if bridge mode is active in your router settings and disable it and try pppoe again. Bridge mode requires you to provide a username and password everytime you attempt to connect to internet. Once I disabled bridge mode, I was easily able to connect to the internet.

I am not an expert, just trying to help. Try tinkering with your router settings which must be accessible if your computer shows lan connection.
