Hi, all!

Can anyone help me with some information on how I can create a "dialer" for a PPPoE connection?

Grateful.

You may want to look at what PPPoE really is and how "dialing" works in that case:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-point_protocol_over_Ethernet

explains it quite good. Afterwards reading the defining document:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2516

will give some more exact requirements.

IMHO it boils down do opening a network socket and sending some special packets - that would be pretty easy ...

HTH,

Are you looking for a direct dialler or a ui for a dialler ? You can use the Linux pppoe-connect for example and create a ui that execute it in the background and handle all of the configuration files.

dear colleagues:

thanks very much for your help.

I have missed to write in the form, in the object inspector, the name of the popupmenu.

thanks agains,
