DSL connection can't seem to get up
I'm a student so I moved out of the city for the summer. At my other residence I only had access to dial-up so I didn't use adsl. Now I'm back but I can't connect for some reason. It can't be the hardware itself because I'm in m$ windows right now and it works fine (the connection)
When I execute adsl-start, it times out every time. I ran adsl-setup to make sure everything was fine but It didn't do a thing. I don't believe my problem could be caused by modules not loading or anything because I'm using an nforce2 mb with Forcedeth configured into the kernel. Could the pppoe protocol somewhat changed during the last few months? Thanks JP |

Sympatico is my provider so they probably gave me a pppoa connection like you said. I tried to connect using MandrakeMove, I still get the same result, It times out... Rpppoe seemed to be set-up fine with my ethernet because it did detect the sympatico domain.
I was using rpppoe to connect the pppoe. What do I have to do to make it work with pppoATM? Is there another prog that I don't know about? Thanks |

Code:
>$ apt-cache search pptpclient BTW you should call Sympatico and confirm that they actually have you on the PPPoA before going through all this work to get it going. |
I just checked with Sympatico and the said that the modem I'm using is using the pppoe protocol. So I guess my problem is software based... The same configuration worked in march, I'm realy confused. How could it now work fine now? I do know that the sympatico network I fairly unstable but on the other side, it works fine in windows...
edit: After writing this I tought I gave too much money to Sympatico for such a crappy service, so i ordered cable internet. Could be cool if I could fix my internet in the meantime... Thanks for the help |

Definitely in the setup then I never used the PPPoE either but here any of those connections that I have booted a knoppix disk on it can get a DHCP connection so have you tried that. Quote:
