rj-45 is what most people use on utp or ftp network cables (phonelines use rj-11)

I'm trying to understand how the cables are in your network setup

I assume you have a LAN 192.168.187.0/24 on eth0
you have some mysterious eth1
and eth2 doesn't seem to be used for anything

but the your 'internet' needs to enter also your computer, I guess it comes from a phoneline, but how is this connected to you computer or your lan?

the ethereal would be a way to test what is going on in a windows system if that is working.
It also exists in Linux since you don't have a working connection yet it is not very useful.

I looked for your broadcom 44x, but I don't have any more information about it.
maybe 'dmesg | grep eth ' can give some info about your nic

actually eth1 is for 1394 net adapter(which i obviously i dont use to connect) and eth2 is the intel pro wireless adapter(i might use but i dont have any wireless account). eth0 is broadcom 44x 10/100 integraed controller, should be something like realtek internet adapter

but where do you connect to your phone line, is there any other box? dou you know brand and type?
and maybe it's IP address, since it could be a router which is the best that can happen for you at this moment :-)

try a
ping -b 192.168.187.255 (your broadcast on eth0)
and see who responds to this ping

all i kno bout my connection is that its a pppoe, a dhcp client. there is no box involved, just a cable directly connected to my internal network card. i have username and password given by China Telcom. i use that and connect to internet. here's its detail, when i am connected to internet in windows...

How is you lan connected? On that same cable? is there a switch involved

I don't see why there is a 24.24.24.24 server, but maybe that is possible,

at least you know now for sure that you need to use chap authentication

I'll have to leave you now since I'll go to bed,

let me know if you discover any extra info, I know some ISP don't use standard pppoe protocol but to find out you need to test with ethereal in windows.

I don't see how your lan is connected, size you don't have a switch and only a cable in the eth0

if there is no wan you need to remove the ipaddress from eth0

the cable from you eth0 with internet how is it connected to your phoneline? there must be soms connection as far as I understand.
