adsl setup question, using rp-pppoe in Mandrake
Hey all,
I tried asking this question once already, and have not gotten any replies, so I am going to try again. I am using Mandrake 10.0 (95% sure it is 10.0, I am unsure how to check) and I am trying to use the program rp-pppoe 3.5 to set up my SBC Yahoo DSL connection using the DSL modem they provided. I got the program from Roaring Penguin here: roaringpenguin.com/products/rp-pppoe/index.php I have my system set up as dual-boot with Win XP and the DSL works fine under windows, so I know that's not the problem. I compiled the source rpm I downloaded from the RP website, and ran the setup utility, the final few lines of which look like this: Congratulations, it should be all set up! Type "adsl-start' to bring up your ADSL link and 'adsl-stop' to bring it down. Type 'adsl-status' to see the link status. so I do this: [root@localhost rp-pppoe-3.5]# adsl-start [root@localhost rp-pppoe-3.5]# adsl-status Note: You have enabled demand-connection; adsl-status may be inaccurate. adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file .pppoe) During the setup, I had the option to enable on demand connection, and I specifically chose "no" which was recommended by the program, so I'm not exactly sure what the output from my "adsl-status" command means. The DSL connection is not enabled, and I can't access the web through any means I am aware of right now. I have searched the web using google for this error message, and for other problems using the rp-pppoe program, but I haven't turned up anything useful. If anyone is familiar with this program, or with setting up a pppoe connection in Mandrake, maybe they could point me in a new direction. Also, if anyone has any thoughts about something I may have done incorrectly during the setup process, I welcome those as well. It's getting old rebooting to windows to search the web for answers to my Linux questions. Thanks Smarvy |
What are the messages in /var/log/messages?
(tail -f /var/log/messages) Which modem are you using? Did you run adsl-setup? |
I did run adsl-setup. The output I posted above is just after running adsl-setup. I am at work now, and the machine I am writing about is at home. I wil have to check /var/log/messages when I get home.
The modem I am pretty sure is a Speed-Stream (sp?). I will make sure on this when I get home. Thanks for the reply. |
The messages in /var/log/messages change after different processes are run, so I will give you the messages after running adsl-start and adsl-status:
Code:
[root@localhost]# adsl-start Code:
[root@localhost]# adsl-status Smarvy |
as I said in another thread - try a diff applicatio - like ethernet 300
