I installed Mandrake10 from school, internet was perfect.
I bring my HD home and boot, it detect a new network card (onboard SiS900), start up the configuration tool, I setup my ADSL connection with user/pass on PPPoE and all but when it try to connect to internet it jst won't work, can't start eth0.

I have a HUB, but I tried without having it plugged and it still don't work so I guess it's not the problem. My modem is a Westell WireSpeed (no-name but it work). Everything work great under windows.

If I do lsmod the Sis900 module appear in the list
If I do ifconfig I get this:

eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:6E:58:B0:51

but I don't really understand what it may mean.

I tried to ping 192.167.0.1 (myselft I think) and it work,.. any random ip don't.

Anyone can give me any other things I may check/try?

BTW: I don't know if you guys know but the majority of linux IRC channels are filled with people who are really selfish, don't help and think they are better than everyone but they don't really know much, kinda a bad image for the linux communauty!

yeah i know what you mean, the irc linux people are jerks... but here we help as much as possible . let me guess, you asked them and they told you to read the manual or look online... yeah its happened to all the newbs . ok the inet ip is your ip and the bcast is the broadcast ip, masque is the subnet mask... im not sure what the problem is. when you have your router plugged in, whats the ip of the router?

try ping google.com

I said I don't have a routeur I have a HUB... and I really don't know what it's IP might be,.. can be anything? :P
And I said pinging any internet IP (google too) don't work

well theres some problem with the set ip values, you need to change them to suit the internet at your home, the reason everything worked great in windows is that windows will auto configure your ip addresses, find those and them just enterthem as yours in linux. that should do it

to change your ip address:

if you need to change the dns addresses see this post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=235789

Which IP should as specify as the new?? I tried the one I have when using windows, it change the data in ifconfig but when I try to connect by the interface it wont work... When I try to recreate a new internet connection it remove the ip I specified with your command fron ifconfig.

In the Principal DNS Server it automaticly write 199.202.105.108... is this ok?

oh and when I shutdown, there is a line with "pppd no process killed ERROR", what is pppd does it have a link with my problem?

you are using a hub and which pc distro has the internet connection is it a windoze machine u r connecting to or has the linux machine got the direct internet connection?

I had the same issue with my system untill I read a post that sugested opening a terminal window and typing, dhcpcd
It worked for me, I hope it works for you also.
Good luck: Ken

On the PCs I've setup for DSL you do not want eth0 starting prior to pppoe starting. So try this:
ifdown eth0
adsl-start
if successful you will see a ppp0 connection. (output of ifconfig).

The error on shutdown is caused by the OS attempting to shutdown pppd but it isn't running.

Mandrake Control Center should (not always) be able to configure an ADSL internet connection.
