Hi all!

I need the advice how to install this modem in my Fedora Core 4. I have the Ethernet card and Terayon modem. When I enter the "Network configuration" option I see the USB CDC Ethernet driver. I suppose it's what I need. But when I try to activate this device I get this message: "/sbin/adsl-start: line 215: 3380 Terminated $CONNECTION "$@" >dev/null 2>&1". What's wrong? Should I config the IRQ? or something else?

P.S. I found this in logs:

Using interface ppp0
pppoe: ioctl(SI0CGIFMWADDR): Session 0: No such device
Connect: ppp0 <---> /dev/pts/3
Modem hangup
Connection terminated

Please help! I find nothing relevant in the Internet

I don't think you need adsl-start. Is your connection ADSL or Cable? In either case, you probably just need a DHCP configuration with it being connected via ethernet.

What's that DHCP? I found some information in Google But I still have so many questions

1. When I use Network configuration I have two options
a. eth0 Marvell Gigabyte Ethernet Controller
b. eth1 USB CDC Ethernet driver

2. I use adsl-setup and provide the DNS of my provider.
Logs:
a. eth0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3
LCP: timeout sending Config-Request
Connection terminated
ppp0: Timeout waiting for PADO pockets
b. eth1
Unknown interface
Modem hangup

I have ADSL connection. So what should I use eth0 or eth1? And how to config DHCP?

Thank you!

If you use a DSL modem, you *generally* don't need to use adsl-setup, that's intended for PPPoE-style connections. Just do a standard network config with "automatic configuration".

Thaaaaanks! I selected Ethernet connection and not xDSL, one mouse click and I have my connection active!
But now I have the next problem! When I type address in my browser I get : <address> couldn't be found. Please check name and try again. What have I lost?

P.S when I do ping to my provider DNS I get:

Network is unreachable

Please post the output of the 'ifconfig' and 'route' commands.

First you'll want to add:
"route add default gw MODEM_IP"
and
"route add -net MODEM_NET netmask MODEM_NETMASK dev eth0"

MODEM_IP might be, say, 192.168.1.1. MODEM_NET would be 192.168.1.0, and MODEM_NETMASK 255.255.255.0.

I tried the first and got

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

I added the default gw of my provider and it was ok I suppose, there was no Network unreachable.

the gw is 172.24.128.1

how should I choose the MODEM_NET and MODEM_MASK?

You know what? I accidentally gave the commands to you in the wrong order, sorry. Try them the other way around.

I tried the second command and got:
SI0CADDRT: No such device

Was it mistake to use default gw of my provider?

Hrrm, try pinging at this point and see if it works.

No Nothing changed

Network is unreachable for my provider IP any other Unknown host

;(

It's strange. I see now in the Configure Network Setting the "Automatically obtain...." is disabled but "Static IP address..." is enabled. Is it possible to enable "Automatic obtain..."?

It should be possible, and that's what you really need.
