Please help, where do i have to start to keep on going. If you need some more specific info please pm meThanksBlix

How is the modem connected to your machine ?USB or Ethernet ?

Hi qwijibow, the modem is connected trough ethernet.On my gnome desktop it shows me also in top taskbar that i have an active ethernet dsl0 connection, but still can´t access any website.

I also put my userdata in the networksetting (name/password)

 

Any Idea?

PS. I checed the network stattus and got error "SIOCGIFFLAGS failed on socket"

Im sure they are probably many ways of setting up and using aDSL.
Especially now broadband is so popular.

So many different people and tutorials may give differant advice.

I havent setup ADSL for a long time, so my method may not be the best, but here is how i did it a few years back.

I used the program rp-pppoe
this may already be installed, try to run the commands "adsl-start, adsl-status, and adsl-stop." as root.

if you get a command not found error, then you need to unstall it first, the porgram can be downloaded from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Alternativly, the program may also bo on your install CD's

you will need to know the following things...
1) Your broadband username and password
2) <possably> your broadband DNS server IP. (this is often auto-detected)

then run the following commands....

adsl-setup<enter your settingsadsl-setup    (again)<enter your broadband password><enter more network settings>

you can now start and stop the broadband with the commands

/sbin/ifup ppp0        (connect to broadband)/sbin/ifdown ppp0   ( disconect )

Like i said earlyer, this is the old way of doing it, there may be a better graphical way with newer linux distro's.

but i hope it should still work for you.

Thanks for this info, i downloaded this pro extracted it on root but can´t compile it - Might be a stupid question for you but i have really no idea how to do this. I did follow the instructions in the readme files and the go / go-gui commands work but with the error msg no compiler in path!? BTW is thre any one from Porto/ Portugal here at Xisto who know linux ?Thanks for your help

Is there not a pre-compiled version on your install CD's ?What distro are you using ? i know there are pre-compiled RPM's avaiable for RPM based distro's.to compile software, rread the README and INSTALL files.they will probably give the usual instuctions,./confgure && make && make install.

works fine on my windows installation

If it works on a windows install on the same Ethernet cable, it's very simple : look how it works under Windows and configure the same thing for Linux.
Look at your Windows Network settings. Your network is probably "DHCP client", and "Namesever from DHCP". Enter the Suze setup and that's all.
And probably you use "no proxy" for your Linux browser, so enter the same thing under your Linux browser settings.

Its not that simple.

Linux by default will configure network cards to be interfaces to an Ethernet.

however ADSL modems to not provide ethernet acees to the network card.

they provide a PPP (Point to Point Protocol) interface.

so you need to configure the card to use PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)

its not as simple as copying default gateways, and DNS IPs.

Thanks for your help, i´m getting to it tomorow. Hope this will work out

Hey blix,I'm not too sure on my answer, but I don't think dsl0 should be the device if you're using an ethernet router. The connection should be passed through eth0, as I'm guessing dsl0 is for PCI ASDL modems and not routers on the network.Unfortunately I have no SuSe knowledge, so you must figure out how to disable, get rid of dsl0 and get eth0 starting up at boot and working. Maybe someone here is more familiar with SuSe and would know?Cheers,MC

Hi qwijibow, the modem is connected trough ethernet.

In the present case it should be simple because the modem is not a simple modem but a router providing an Ethernet connexion to the PC. So, if the PC is really connected through Ethernet, we are in the "normal" case where Linux installs Internet on an Ethernet cable.

Ahh, so now we have yet anouther question to ask Blix.Is his *modem* a plain ADSL modem, or an ADSL modem and router ???I assumed that he does not have a router because he mentioned needing to enter his broadband username and password on his computer, in the config files.when one uses a broasband router, it is the router that needs the passwords and usernames.Wether or not he has a router built into his modem is very important in terms of configuration.a dedicated broadband modem requires the modem to be configured as a PPPoE interface.if he has internet shareing router, then the network card needs to be configured as an ethernet device.PPPoE and ethernet are two very very differant protocols.

Hey Guys, thanks for your effort. Here it´s how it´s described on their webseite:MT882 series ADSL Terminal provides one Ethernet port and one USB port, supporting ADSL2+. It can be applied in family entertainment or SOHO over InternetStandards - ITU G.992.1 (G.dmt), ITU G.992.2 (G.lite), ITU G.994.1 (G.hs), ANSI T1.413 Issue # 2, ITU-T G.992.5 (ADSL2+), ITU-T G.992.5 Annex L (G.lite)Data Transmission Rate - ADSL: Downstream up to 8 Mbps, Upstream up to 896 KbpsADSL2+: Downstream rate of 26 Mbps, upstream rate of 1M bpsG.992.5 Annex L: Max. transmission distance of 6.5 kilometers External Interface - WAN: One RJ-11 port for ADSL line connectionLAN: One USB port for USB cable connectionOne RJ-45 port for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connectionFeatures - Supporting 1483B bridging and routing functionSupporting DHCP server, NAT/NAPT , PAP/CHAP, IP Filter, Firewall, protocol blockBuilt-in PPPOE/PPPOA dialingI hope this info can point you/me in the right direction. It´s my first Linux installation so don´t be p*ssed of with me.PS. To the admins: I copied these info above from the manufactures website, please adjust credits for this postThanks Blix

I guess you´re right, but i can´t start eth0. It´s possibele to start the dsl0 but ca´t connect to the net either. I get error "SIOCGIFFLAGS failed on Socket
