Redhat 7.2 and rp-ppoe!
 

Hi,

I have a linux box using Redhat 7.2 with 2 NIC and a Alcatel Speed Touch Home (=ADSL-modem using a NIC). I want to configure it as a router but I can't get the internet connection working.

I did a fresh install of Linux, installed rp-pppoe3.3-1, ran the adsl-setup. No problems till there.
So i try to ping my dns-servers:
#ping 194.119.232.3
PING 195.119.232.3 (194.119.232.3) from 10.0.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.0.1: Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.0.1: Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.0.1: Destination Host Unreachable

Then I try this:
#ping -I ppp0 194.119.232.3
REPLY FROM 194.119.232.3 ...
REPLY FROM 194.119.232.3 ...
REPLY FROM 194.119.232.3 ...

When i run ifconfig, it shows my eth0-adap and a ppp0-adap WITH an valid IP to surf the net. When I open lynx it keeps saying:
"...looking up <my-url>..."
or something like that.

Don't know how to fix this problem, anyone? Need some help PLEASE!

NOTE: on the site of roaringpenguin it says NOT to assign an ip to the NIC. I tried that too but worked either!

Nevermind, found the solution:
1. Use RH 7.2
2. rpm -Uvh rp-pppoe-3.3-1.i386.rpm
3. adsl-setup (input all the required values)
4. rpm -Uvh --force rp-pppoe-3.2-3.i386.rpm
5. cp /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf.rpmsave /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
6. adsl-start

Seems there is an error in the 3.3-1.

It works like this with me!
