YOu say that your beghind a router.... I dont see why your having such a big problem. You should be able connect your router directly up to the dsl modem and config the router to automatically log you into the DSL service. form there all you would need to do would be to hook your nix box up to the router, and then set ip to DHCP (grab an ip address from the router). Its a lot easier than what your trying.

My DSL works with router .. But I want to make it work with

I used Verizon DSL in Philadelphia for a bit. Good speed and decent service.

I took their ethernet DSL modem, my trusty PCMCIA NIC, and installed PPPoEd to Redhat 6.2.

http://www.davin.ottawa.on.ca/pppoe (from DSL Howto)

No problems. I hear 2.4 has native PPPoE support these days, but don't need it today.

Not sure if it helps here, but I have Verizon DSL. The protocol they are running here in Virginia is PPP as such I was able to simply take the DSL Router that was sent to me and connect the LAN end to my Dell Laptop (Running Redhat 7.2 and Ximian). From the command line using linuxconf-auth I set up my eth0 card to use DHCP and ack'ed my changes and that was it. It's working fine with no problems. Since then I've gotten a Linksys WAP to go wireless in the house. Still use DHCP and have no problems using my Linux Laptop and Windows 2000 Laptop. Next step to go wireless in Linux. !!!! Wish me luck

I'm a neophyte to linux and pppoe/DSL configurations (I've only used dialup or was part of a network that was magically online and I've just started trying to figure out how to connect this machine to the dsl modem and have it work. it's set to work on device eth0. I have firewall rules all set for it. adsl-setup tries it's best but can't seem to get a connection. The micros**t windows boxes seem to see it fine. I've looked through the scripts and saw that ppp0 was an interface that it used. I don't have that interface configured/used at all. I also don't know what kernel modules I'll need loaded. Kernel 2.4.2-2 (Default Redhat 7.1 install, since I haven't gotten around to re-compiling yet). Anyone know how to get this working with Verizon DSL in the Massachusetts Area?

I am considering using Verizon DSL on my Linux machine. I have not signed up yet. I have already read similar threads, and I know about setting up PPPoE for Verizon. I would like to ask how well is the performace of Verizon and are there any pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks in advance.

heh, almost forgot that I posted to this thread...

I finally got Verizon DSL working, rp-pppoe is unadultured poo (with a bad debugging facility causing it not to connect), and it works like a charm. I haven't noticed the connection drop once. As for the IP, I don't think it has changed (other than signoff and signon) so it's a-ok in my book. Of course, if you're gonna spend the 40 bucks a month, I'd invest in cable if it's available in your area. Sure. the upload isn't so great, but the download is comparable to T1, even.

Thanks for the info, but now I have another question. I was reading some web
pages with info, and they claim that Verizon installation requires
running a program under Windows or MacOS to set up the service. Is
this still true? If it is, can I run the setup program under Wine
instead of having to get Windows? TIA again.

from what I know, you need to run WinPOET and setup a profile with their servers...it's also good to do so that you can get their DNS servers and be able to sign on (they don't give them to you over the phone) and such. You could try running it under wine, but I don't know how successful you'd be (I'd suggest WineX because I think they did change some of the core wine windows dll libs to make them more windows compatible...you can get it free via cvs...if you want pre-compiled binaries, be prepared to pay).

I was having problems connecting to verizon DSL in NJ.
I had it running fine for a while using rp-pppoe 3.5.

My problem was the routing table. Even though the pppoe.conf file was set to make the PPPOE connection my default route it was not adding the needed entry to my routing table.

if ppp0 is up pickup the value of "P-t-P" from doing /sbin/ifconfig ppp0, for example 10.51.61.6

Then add the following rule to your routing table
route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 10.51.61.6

Even though I got an ip and ppp0 was up and running, I needed to do that additional step to get it working

Hope that helps
