coming from pppoe mode, going to "standard" Lan mode

Hi all,

I would like to switch between the net connection with pppoe (at home)
and the traditionnal LAN connection (at the university), but i don't
know how to do that. My laptop refuses to connect on the Lan connection.
Does anyone can tell me more about ?
For information, i'm running under Debian.

Thks

DHCP is the solution! I assume, your university network supports that,
now you need a router including DHCP service at home.
Then you don't need to worry about ip-addresses.

Most internet router offer this solution.

Yep but it's already in DHCP...that's why i don't know where the problem
comes from. I think i should desactivate pppoe mode when i want to
connect at my university but i don't know how do to that whithout any
problem.
Any suggestion ?

do you use a dsl modem? how is your pppoe configured? what device does
it use?

What happens if you just shutdown the pppoe device (/etc/init.d/network
stop <pppoe-device>)?

use ifconfig to figure out, which device is used.
