Help for alcatel ST HOME...

last_sunrise · 02-02-2004, 03:18 PM

I 'm running SUSE Linux 9 Pro and I have alcatel speedtouch home adsl modem.
But I can not connect to the internet with Kinternet or with rp-pppoe

What I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi.

Try the tutorial here:
http://www.webconexion.net/speedtouch/index.php

It's for RedHat, but it's actually fairly generic.

Just watch where speedtouch.conf goes.

I 'll try this tutorial thank you very much, but I have ethernet connection with modem it's not USB. Will it work?

Thanks

The ethernet connection will probably be easier (although I'm not familiar with the procedure).

Yeah it's easier becauce it don't needs drivers for the modem but maybe I have software problem. Kinternet and rp-pppoe don't connects to my ISP

I'll keep searching...

Thnx!

Kinternet and rpppoe may not be aware of USB modems, so you'll have to start the connection manually (as with the tutorial). If you've got a modem that works over ethernet, then you may be able to set up your Linux box to use DHCP, in which case you won't have to do any configuration at all, it'll Just Work (once you've told your Linux box to connect using DHCP). If your ethernet style modem is actually an ADSL router, then you're laughing.

No I don't have ADSL router it's just a modem.
