Help with setting up pppoe
I compiled the 2.6.14.3 kernel with ppp over ethernet support
my onboard ethernet card is recognized as eth0 (ifconfig eth0) With pppoe-setup, i set up my connection. But when i try to run pppoe-start, it says 'timed out' with this message: Code:
# pppoe-start Code:
pppoe-connect Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 |
Is you ethernet card connected to a modem provided by your isp?
Have you set up /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf Did you run netconfig? Have you read the Book? http://www.slackbook.org/html/index.html |
thanks for the reply...
the ethernet card is onboard (intel 10/100 PRO) I've configured the network (usgin netconfig) for a DHCP connection.(i've read the slackbook ... that's how i got this far :D ) I didn't do any editing in rc.inet1.conf except for changing the debugging option 'DEBUG_ETH_UP' to 'yes' |
You shouldn't set ethernet card connected to ADSL modem to DHCP.
Unless your modem is really a router. Leave the settings in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf empty. vix: Code:
# Config information for eth0: |
well my ADSL modem is set in the bridged mode ...so doesn't it act as a router?
anyway .. i've set the conf file as you said |
try this
try ifup ppp0 or ifup/sbin/ppp0 for connecting
ifdown ppp0 or ifdown /sbin/ppp0 for disconnecting you can check the connection using adsl-status also check for the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 check weather all the parameter are correct or not. your ethernet card should be connected to your ADSL or DSL modem(on matter in bridge mode or router mode). Also your modem should be getting proper link. You may see this by looking at some LED that might be there on modem, showing a constant or a blinking light. |
my ADSL-router is working fine..I'm able to connect to the internet using ubuntu
i tried ifup / ifdown... but it says there is no such command aren't those commands debian based? |
Just wondering, can you connect with some default Slackware kernel? If you can connect using another Linux distribution, then you should be able to do it in Slackware since most share the same programs (and of course, the kernel) to support connections.
Maybe you can detail how you do it on Ubuntu, so we can tell you the equivalent commands on Slackware. Btw, in Slackware, there's no ifup, ifdown, use: ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up |
gbonvehi,
the default slackware kernel didn't recognize either my sound card or my onboard ethernet...so i got the new one compiled in my ubuntu .. i set my connec using Code:
sudo pppoeconf (which is just like the pppoe-setup) |
Since you compile your own kernel. Did you compile in ppp and pppoe support?
|
yes (actually when i compiled first i missed this module and i compiled again with the pppoe module included)
|
You can do one thing get the rp-pppoe. It has a free client for pppoe. The setup is very easy and simple. I am using it and its works very fine.
You can get rp-pppoe from http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pengui...e_rp-pppoe.php |
hiren,
Slackware comes with that package. That's what i've been trying to use. I need help with that. |
Ok, so do you need help configuring it? If so, check weather there commands are there or not
or just go in to /sbin and see weather these things are there or not. Are you able to configure any thing with following. adsl-connect adsl-setup adsl-start adsl-status adsl-stop If yes also check weather the following files are there /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 do you want step-by-step procedure how to do it, or you have all ready configured using adsl-setup and is not working? |
Oh ok I think you have all ready tried out with adsl-setup. Check the configuration of the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 it should be as following.
USERCTL=yes BOOTPROTO=dialup NAME=DSLppp0 DEVICE=ppp0 TYPE=xDSL ONBOOT=yes PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid FIREWALL=NONE PING=. PPPOE_TIMEOUT=20 LCP_FAILURE=3 LCP_INTERVAL=80 CLAMPMSS=1412 CONNECT_POLL=6 CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60 DEFROUTE=yes SYNCHRONOUS=no ETH=eth0 PROVIDER=DSLppp0 USER= your loginname@isp PEERDNS=no |
