Ubuntu

PPP doesn't start on boot.

Asked by Bartłomiej Żogała

I have configured ppp connection(on usb modem) in way I can execute it by typing
pppd call my_provider_name
or
pon my_provider_name, but I can't get to know how configure it to star on boot in "ubuntu way". I want to keep it connected and share with NAT. In /etc/init.d/ i have only pppd-dns, and apt-file search returns nothing for /etc/init.d/pppd or /etc/init.d/ppp. I have seen script here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=99573 but is it a part of any package? Or is there any more proper way for configuring it? auto ppp0 in /etc/init.d/networking didn't helped because interface ppp0 is created after initialization of a modem..

Using ubuntu server 8.10

some of linux is very easy to simply script. You can add the script to the gnome startup items:

I have read /etc/init.d/ppp is deprecated in newer versions of ubuntu and proper way is to use provider method in /etc/network/interfaces
