configuring pppoe for internet


Hi

I finally managed to install pppoe and pppoeconf. When I
type command 'pppoeconf' , it invokes some window and I put username, passwd etc. But my net connection won't start. I have posting the output of various commands related to networking.

ifconfig

Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 
00:0f:b0:4a:54:a7 inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:b0ff:fe4a:54a7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1388 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:97 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:437394 (427.1 KiB) TX bytes:6594 (6.4 KiB) Interrupt:18 Base address:0x7000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B)

One thing I have noticed is that my MAC address is that of my own laptop. But we have given the MAC address of my brother's laptop to my ISP. And when I am in windows, I clone his MAC address.
So maybe I need to that in Debian. Can you see any other problem ? So suggest me how do I clone MAC address in linux.
By the way , I have learned how to redirect the output
of Linux commands to txt files to post here. I had to
first convert txt files in Linux to txt files in Dos
so that I can post them here (I have to use Win XP for internet)

It's possible.
You can change MAC address in linux with ip command ip link set eth0 address <new_mac> or with old ifconfig command ifconfig eth0 hw ether <new_mac>

samotnik,
I tried that and nothing happened. No internet. If you want to analyse, please suggest which
command's output should I post here

Does the ISP use pap or chap ?

Kind regards

It means that for some reason you ISP don't want to recognize you.
Than first, check if MAC address is correct. Check, if your username and password are correct. They are found in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets as pairs "username" * "password" (You can access this files only as root). If password is incorrect, then correct it. If username is incorrect, then correct it, then correct user option in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider.

After all, as mentioned by repo, PAP authentication is very insecure, because password is transmitted as plain text. If your ISP supports authentication through CHAP, you would prohibit PAP authentication by adding -pap in /etc/ppp/options.

Hi

Thanks for responses. Here is some more info I want to share. I am in Win xp now.

Device Name - WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
Device Type- PPPoE
Server Type- PPP
Authentication - PAP
Compression- none
PPP multilink framing OFF
Server IP Address- 203.187.210.1
Client IP Address- 123.201.200.227

So, repo, its seems my ISP uses PAP. Now samotnik, I checked all the files you mentioned.
and the username and paasswd is ok. I am posting some files from /etc/ppp

pap-secrets
Code:
# # /etc/ppp/pap-secrets # # This is a pap-secrets file to be used with the AUTO_PPP function of # mgetty. mgetty-0.99 is preconfigured to startup pppd with the login option # which will cause pppd to consult /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow in turn) # after a user has passed this file. Don't be disturbed therefore by the fact # that this file defines logins with any password for users. /etc/passwd # (again, /etc/shadow, too) will catch passwd mismatches. # # This file should block ALL users that should not be able to do AUTO_PPP. # AUTO_PPP bypasses the usual login program so it's necessary to list all # system userids with regular passwords here. # # ATTENTION: The definitions here can allow users to login without a # password if you don't use the login option of pppd! The mgetty Debian # package already provides this option; make sure you don't change that. # INBOUND connections # Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd * hostname "" * # UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any # other accounts that should not be able to use pppd! guest hostname "*" - master hostname "*" - root hostname "*" - support hostname "*" - stats hostname "*" - # OUTBOUND connections # Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via # PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect # to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just # replace password with your password. # If you have different providers with different passwords then you better # remove the following line. # * password "username" * "801154"
I have replaced the username with "username" for privacy reasons. Its there.

Now /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (again username is replaced with "username". Password is as it is.

Code:
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP # client server secret IP addresses "username" * "801154"
Now /etc/ppp/peers/provider

Code:
# example configuration for a dialup connection authenticated with PAP or CHAP # # This is the default configuration used by pon(1) and poff(1). # See the manual page pppd(8) for information on all the options. # MUST CHANGE: replace myusername@realm with the PPP login name given to # your by your provider. # There should be a matching entry with the password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets # and/or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. user "myusername@realm" # MUST CHANGE: replace ******** with the phone number of your provider. # The /etc/chatscripts/pap chat script may be modified to change the # modem initialization string. connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/pap -T ********" # Serial device to which the modem is connected. /dev/modem # Speed of the serial line. 115200 # Assumes that your IP address is allocated dynamically by the ISP. noipdefault # Try to get the name server addresses from the ISP. usepeerdns # Use this connection as the default route. defaultroute # Makes pppd "dial again" when the connection is lost. persist # Do not ask the remote to authenticate. noauth
Now /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
Again I have removed my username and replaced it with the words "username". But believe me
its there

Code:
# Configuration file for PPP, using PPP over Ethernet # to connect to a DSL provider. # # See the manual page pppd(8) for information on all the options. ## # Section 1 # # Stuff to configure... # MUST CHANGE: Uncomment the following line, replacing the user@provider.net # by the DSL user name given to your by your DSL provider. # (There should be a matching entry in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with the password.) #user myusername@myprovider.net # Use the pppoe program to send the ppp packets over the Ethernet link # This line should work fine if this computer is the only one accessing # the Internet through this DSL connection. This is the right line to use # for most people. #pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1452" # An even more conservative version of the previous line, if things # don't work using -m 1452... #pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1412" # If the computer connected to the Internet using pppoe is not being used # by other computers as a gateway to the Internet, you can try the following # line instead, for a small gain in speed: #pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80" # The following two options should work fine for most DSL users. # Assumes that your IP address is allocated dynamically # by your DSL provider... noipdefault # Try to get the name server addresses from the ISP. usepeerdns # Use this connection as the default route. # Comment out if you already have the correct default route installed. defaultroute ## # Section 2 # # Uncomment if your DSL provider charges by minute connected # and you want to use demand-dialing. # # Disconnect after 300 seconds (5 minutes) of idle time. #demand #idle 300 ## # Section 3 # # You shouldn't need to change these options... hide-password lcp-echo-interval 20 lcp-echo-failure 3 # Override any connect script that may have been set in /etc/ppp/options. connect /bin/true noauth persist mtu 1492 # RFC 2516, paragraph 7 mandates that the following options MUST NOT be # requested and MUST be rejected if requested by the peer: # Address-and-Control-Field-Compression (ACFC) noaccomp # Asynchronous-Control-Character-Map (ACCM) default-asyncmap plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0 user "username"
Now I am posting /etc/ppp/options

Code:
# /etc/ppp/options # # Originally created by Jim Knoble <jmknoble@mercury.interpath.net> # Modified for Debian by alvar Bray <alvar@meiko.co.uk> # Modified for PPP Server setup by Christoph Lameter <clameter@debian.org> # # To quickly see what options are active in this file, use this command: # egrep -v '#|^ *$' /etc/ppp/options # Specify which DNS Servers the incoming Win95 or WinNT Connection should use # Two Servers can be remotely configured # ms-dns 192.168.1.1 # ms-dns 192.168.1.2 # Specify which WINS Servers the incoming connection Win95 or WinNT should use # ms-wins 192.168.1.50 # ms-wins 192.168.1.51 # Run the executable or shell command specified after pppd has # terminated the link.

in case you need to see that.

Samontik, as I have said above, my stupid ISP uses PAP and not CHAP. That's what my Win XP network connection says. I asked the people at my ISP and they have set up just 2 connections over linux till date. And that was Red Hat. ISP is

http://www.youbroadband.in/

Net in India is still in Stone Age,unlike EU , USA

ilvista, I will definitely check that link...

As I have already said, my ISP has registered my brother's PC and my brother has cloned MAC address into my PC. But when I do 'ifconfig'
the system still shows my real MAC, not the cloned MAC.

Or you can download macchanger ,and install it and then

Code:
[root@benchabane benchabane]# macchanger eth0
Current MAC: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (Toshiba)
Faked MAC:   00:1c:7e:b1:db:1f (Toshiba)
for exemple ,change the mac to 00:05:6f:62:ea:b3
Code:
 macchanger --mac=00:05:6f:62:ea:b3 eth0
check if it worked
Code:
ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr
