The INTERNET OVER CABLE service is provided through the FttB (Fibre to the Building) type optical infrastructure built by IP NET. The main advantages of the service are: significantly higher quality compared to simple dial-up access, virtually unlimited time access to the Internet, without the need for a telephone line, flexible consumption planning, the ability to connect a local network to the Internet, which allows more than one user to work simultaneously on the network.
The speed of access and data transfer depends on the current workload.
Of course, this speed is influenced by the speed that the other server supports.
Simply put, a router is a device through which two different networks communicate. It can also be used for firewall.

To install this protocol, follow these steps:
1. Downloading the "rp-pppoe" package from:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/files/download/rp-pppoe-3.8.tar.gz
2. After downloading, save it to /usr/local/src and follow these steps:
“cd /usr/local/src“
“tar zxvf rp-pppoe-3.5.tar.gz # For version rp-pppoe-3.5.tar.gz”
"cd rp-pppoe-3.5/src"
“./configure”
"make"
“make install”
3. Check that your interface is up, if not use one of the following commands:
“ifconfig eth0 up”
"ip link set up eth0″
If you have multiple network cards, you may need to replace eth0 with eth1.
4. Once installed, the rp-pppoe configuration follows.
5. Run the configure script:
/usr/sbin/pppoe-setup
6. Answer the series of questions:
6.1. >>> Enter your PPPoE user name (default username@pppoeserver):
Enter your username.
6.2. >>> Enter the Ethernet interface connected to the PPPOE
For Solaris, this is likely to be something like /dev/hme0.
For Linux, it will be ethn, where ‘n’ is a number.
(default eth0):“
Enter the interface through which you connect to the Internet. An example of an answer is: eth0 or eth1
6.3. Do you want the link to come up on demand, or stay up continuously?
If you want it to come up on demand, enter the idle time in seconds
after which the link should be dropped. If you want the link to
stay up permanently, enter ‘no’ (two letters, lower-case.)
NOTE: Demand-activated links do not interact well with dynamic IP
addresses. You may have some problems with demand-activated links.
>>> Enter the demand value (default no)
Generally, you just click Enter to move on to the next question.
6.4. Please enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server.
If your ISP claims that ‘the server will provide DNS addresses',
enter ‘server’ (all lower-case) here.
If you just click enter, I will assume you know what you are
doing and not modify your DNS setup.
>>> Enter the DNS information here:
Enter: 78.159.128.2
6.5. Please enter the IP address of your ISP's secondary DNS server.
If you just click enter, I will assume there is only one DNS server.
>>> Enter the secondary DNS server address here:
Enter: 78.159.128.3
click Enter to proceed to the next question.
6.6. >>> Please enter your PPPoE password:
Enter your password.
6.7. >>> Please re-enter your PPPoE password:
Re-enter your password.
6.8. The firewall choices are:
0-None: This script will not set any firewall rules. You are responsible for ensuring the security of your machine. You are STRONGLY recommended to use some kind of firewall rules.
1 – STANDALONE: Appropriate for a basic stand-alone web-surfing workstation
2 – MASQUERADE: Appropriate for a machine acting as an Internet gateway
for a LAN
>>> Choose a type of firewall (0-2):
In general, it is answered with 0
6.9. ** Summary of what you entered **
Ethernet Interface: eth0
User name: username
Activate-on-demand: No
Primary DNS: 83.148.99.2
Firewalling: NONE
>>> Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)?
We answer with Y and this completes the configuration.
7. We edit the configuration file with a text editor: "/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf"
7.1. Go to line: SERVICENAME=““ and enter “evronet’.
8. The connection to the PPPoE server is done by running the following script:
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start
8.1 Upon successful connection, you should see the message: "Connected!"
8.2 If the connection fails, the following is displayed: “………………… .TIMED OUT“
9. Interruption of work is done through the following script:
/usr/sbin/pppoe-stop
10. Other comments
10.1. In order to be able to connect to the PPPOE server, it is necessary that the Linux kernel has PPP support.
10.2. If a message is displayed when trying to access the Internet:
pppoe-start: There already seems to be an PPPOE connection up (PID 1447)
The following script must be run:
/usr/sbin/pppoe-stop
and only then:
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start
11. Possible problems and troubleshooting:
With the command: ifconfig, check if there is a ppp connection. In most cases, this is a device ppp0.
With the command: route-n check the routing table. There must be a default fateway assigned using the created connection (ppp0).
If this is not the case, then look at the/etc/ppp/ip-up script where this configuration is set. If it doesn't exist, create it.

IP NET is responsible for the proper functioning of the network facilities to the entry point in the office or home of the specific subscriber. The computer systems and the local network of the client organization are not subject to technical support by the ISP. However, in cases where technical assistance is required, the service is paid additionally at prices specified in the IP NET price list.
In this case, the most likely reasons are:
1. You have a virus that is jamming your international line.
2. You don't have a virus, but you have launched peer-to-peer programs, which again clog your international line.
3. You don't have a virus, you don't have peer2peer programs, but you download/upload information via HTTP/FTP/download accelerator or some other programs/protocols.
4. You are simply somehow using your international line.
5. There may be an overall problem with international connectivity, for more information contact us on 0700 300 69.
