I am trying to move my PPPoE dialling from my router to two machines on that router, a Windows 7 and an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. (Actually one machine with dual boot for now).

I set up a DSL (PPPoE) connection using the Edit Connections dialogue, and while I am connected to the router via cable, the DSL connection is available and works, but as soon as I disconnect the cable, and connect to the wlan (the wifi AP is part of the router), the DSL connection is no longer visible. I need to dial the PPPoE using the wifi to connect my PC to the router. How should I do this?

My router is a a Billion 400G, set to Full Bridge. My Windows PPPoE connection works fine, cable or wifi, so the device is capable. This video - suggests I need to use pppoeconf to create the DSL connection while connected over wifi. I'll try that asap.

What's your router's model/make? It's an interesting setup you're attempting to install. I think you'll need to bridge the DSL port, but don't know if that is possible via the WiFi adapter. – lgarzo Sep 29 '12 at 12:12
