Well i try to setup my adsl on my dell 5100 and for some reason it not get my ip for my adsl.


I did this

netmask is 255.255.255.255.



Am i doing something wroung with my sbc adsl?:newbie: :newbie:

What exactly did you do? Are you connecting through a router, dsl modem, or directly?

it a speedsteam 5100 modem,It not say OK when i boot my linux up.

Is it connected via ethernet or usb (evil)?

ethernet i use a yellow cable for that.

Is the proper ethernet light on on your modem?

Have you run a dhcp client (dhcpcd, dhclient, etc.)?

The ethernet light is on the modem.i setup the network card but does it have to be 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.255 if i am right or do i have t do some thing?

Ok, netmask 255.255.255.255 makes no sense. That's not even a valid netmask. Also, did you set up a default gateway in the routing table?

On my gateway desktop that work with that netmask.I never setup a gateway with sbc before.
