Hi guys,

My ADSL setup is working fine from windows, but refuses to work at all in Rh9. I have tried to setup ADSL via adsl-setup, entering all my relevant info. I have enabled ipv4 forwarding.

This is the error:

Jun 19 03:52:35 StefanLinux pppd[3519]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
Jun 19 03:52:35 StefanLinux pppd[3519]: Using interface ppp0

Jun 19 03:53:10 StefanLinux pppoe[3520]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Jun 19 03:53:10 StefanLinux pppd[3519]: Exit

How can I fix this darn PAD0 error? I can ping the ADSL modem just fine.

Here is my /etc/sysconfig/network:

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=StefanLinux
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
FORWARD_IPV4=yes

and /etc/sysconfig/devices/ifcfg_ppp0:

USERCTL=yes
BOOTPROTO=dialup

DEVICE=ppp0
TYPE=xDSL
ONBOOT=no
PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid

CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60
DEFROUTE=yes
SYNCHRONOUS=no
ETH=eth0
PROVIDER=DSLppp0

PEERDNS=no

Here are the command lines adsl-setup set up:

Any idea how I can get my ADSL modem to respond to LCP requests? Again, it all works 100% fine in windows...

Any help appreciated

Thanks!

You can ping your modem? I assume then that it is connected to your network card... Am I right? If this is so then don't bother with the ADSL setup thing. You should just be able to do a dhclient eth0 and that should hook you up.

some ISPs may require to activate Linux support for your ID

Please check with your ISP whether they need to be informed about your Linux connections.

Hi again

Thanks for the replies guys!

Yes I can ping my ADSL modem - it is installed on my network, connected to my hub.

What is dhclient? I apparently do not have such an executable on my system.

Thanks!

Hi guys

I got DHCP and did dhclient eth0 like you suggested. Still no cigar - this is what it prints out when I start it:

169.254.255.100 is my ADSL router/modem. So I am progressing a l i t t l e...

As you can see, I still cannot get an LCP response from my router user ifup ppp0....

Any idea what next?

Thank you VERY much for the help this far!

Regards

Before you adsl-start, run a on another window

#tcpdump |grep PPP

You will know the exact failure point.

In windows do you use a special (proprietary) client to log on to the internet through you modem or just regular networking?
