Not able to connect to internet through PPPOE
I am trying to connect to the internet by going through the network icons on the top bar. When I put a check mark in the point-to-point connection, it doesn't stay there.
When I go and use the sudo line, in the terminal it tells me, and I type in sudo pppoeconf, the response I get from the terminal, sudo: unable to resolve host then my desktop name-desktop. But with reading concerning PPPoE modems, I am trying to connect correctly.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Thanks for that I did try the FAQ before I sent my last post, however, I think I have sort of worked it out, when I reboot, I saw a dbus error, but trying to get the screen stopping long enough to read it is the hard part.
Thanks for your help
uhm..! Dbus error, try to press ctrl+alt+F3 to get a terminal access make login with your user ans password then type:
sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Then retry to get graphical access, press ctrl+alt+f8
Hope this helps
Can you help with this problem?
