Question SuSE 9.3 ADSL/router config problem


Potted history:
Weeks of frustration with FC4 install issues, tried SuSE9.3 and it went straight on without a hitch. Trying to configure a Belkin ADSL modem/wireless router on PC#1 for internet connectivity (the next stage is a home wireless LAN, but I fancy that’s a way off yet).

The problem:
I can now access the Belkin Management Console, but cannot connect to the outside world.

I have the correct username, password and settings for my ISP (Wanadoo UK), & on the Belkin Management Console, once my details are entered, I get the status: connected. Looking at the status screen, I have the following test function/results:

Connection Status:
ADSL pass
PPPoE pass
ppp pass
IP ping pass
DNS pass
OAM F4-ETE ping fail
OAM F4-SEG ping fail
OAM F5-ETE ping pass
OAM F5-SEG ping pass

Does that suggest anything?

My default gateway is set to 192.168.2.1 (the config add for the router) and checking my kernel routes, the command /sbin/route -n gives me the following output:

local1:~# /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Use Iface
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 eth0

Does this yield any clues? Any thoughts/help/suggestions/requests for further file output, gratefully received.

Kaine.

Hmmm...

Looking under etc/sysconfig/network/, I don't find a 'pppoe' file, so I'm not sure where I should add the line usepeerdns

The only file that looks to be of any editable benefit is the config file relating to my NIC:
ifcfg-eth-id-00:0f:b5:f5:d0:73

Still unsure..... and still not connected.....

You are right,
it is
/etc/ppp/peers/pppoe

otherwise try
find / -name pppoe -print

Thanks again for your input Paul, unfortunately I have tried adding that command to both the pppoe file, and pppoe-rp file, but without any difference.

Any other ideas?

Kaine.

What you find in /etc/resolv.conv ?
But there a valid IP address and the system will exchange to a valid number

OK, in /etc/resolv.conf I have:

nameserver 192.168.1.100
searchsite

And nothing else. I don't recognise that number as anything that I have determined in any of the configuration so far.

Kaine.

OK, so you suggest I remove the searchsite line?
And when I speak to my ISP, it's the nameserver address I'm asking for and not DNS? (The reason I want to be clear is that I have the DNS settings already) That number doesn't relate to my default gateway at all then (192.168.2.1)?

class A 10 x.x.x
class B 172.?.x..x
class C 192.168.x.x
are special ip-addresses which are not be routed inside the net.Everybody can use them inside his
provide network without any trouble. Your gateway should have second ip-adress which speaks
to the world. Every ip-package which is not a part of you lan (local area network) will be send to your
to your default gateway. The gateway masquerade your IP-Package (that means it exchange your local
IP-Address with a valid address which you get from your provider). This address you will get from
DNS and or DHCP and it valid during your complete session. After you restart your System the IP-address could be the same but normally it not the same.

Paul, sincerest thanks for your help and for your patience.

Looking at that line again (nameserver 192.168.1.100) made me realise, that I had not entered the correct DNS addresses for my NIC.

Finally, I am online with SuSE!

Kaine.

That makes me happy.
If you are online now check your /etc/resolve again!
Now you will see your real named -server address
regards
Paul
