PPPoE connects but does not work
 
Hello all,

I have been posting this on the India Broadband forums and Gentoo Forums - but I haven't been able to solve my problems there so I am posting the question here.

I am using the roaring penguin software to connect to the broadband connection that I have at home.
I used pppoe-setup to setup the connection (no firewalling, automatic dns and wlan0 as the interface), then typed pppoe-connect and was told that the connection was made. Here is my ifconfig.
Code:
googly rahul # ifconfig

However, I am unable to do anything with this connection. I can't browse the net (hangs at looking up .... ), can't ping ...

I really do not know what the problem is. If someone could shed some light on this, it would be really appreciated!

try changing the interface used to do ping: ping -I ppp0 google.com

rahulthewall3000 01-05-2009 05:29 AM
No changes. However ping is now exiting with unknown host name google.com! (with and without the interface)

mohannad 01-06-2009 12:14 PM
ok, try to turn off all interfaces the turn the needed interfaces on again :

ifconfig down all
ifconfig wlan0 IP ESSID up
ifconfig ppp0 up

and disable IPv6, since i had a problem with a wireless network when IPv6 was enabled

(not sure of ifconfig syntax)

hope it works
