3.My ip gets changed every time I login.I have dynamic IPs.
There are two IPs:
1. Internal
2. External

to 1. : I had a course at "Active Directory" (Users/Groups) and the professor tried dynamic internal IPs and it ended in a mess ! The whole day was lost for somehow the professor now knows it does not work or only works if something special is fixed.

to 2. : As far as I know people with a normal wire-telephone-number get static IPs from their providers.

Yes, are you now wanting someone to come read the replies to you???

You still have not told anyone about the status of the commands we gave you, and are insisting that you're providing "all information", when all we know is you've got a network cable, ADSL, and dynamic IP's.

Go back to the very first reply. Start reading, and this time, try to actually *UNDERSTAND* the words. If they suggest typing in something...DO IT.

Now, do you think all the people who have replied to you are idiots? They all have given you pretty much the sane solutions. And you have not tried till date and not even mentioned if you have got issues with all the commands told. GO and do what has been told and then come back with the issues that you may have.

As for the IP, you get the dynamic ip from your ISP and that is how ADSL works in India. You need to buy the static external live ip.
Internal ip that you assign to computer can be static and it depends on you how you want to configure it.

Average amount of words typed in this replies are more towards scolding me than giving me solutions.I tried most of the things but nothing worked.

meandsushil 04-23-2010 12:52 AM

hello puntjuh, bwhat type of command is this? "$ ./configure"?nothibng happens when i type this.

meandsushil 04-23-2010 01:02 AM

hi puntjuh, will your said method can make internet running in my linux os?

puntjuh 04-23-2010 02:12 AM

The command isn't:

Code:

$./configure
the $ in the example is so that you know the command is used while being a normal user. (not root).

when # is in front of a command, you know your supposed to run it as root. Either using "su" to login as root, or "sudo" to just run that command as root, but not actually becoming root.

So actually the command is:

Code:

./configure
which is to be run as normal user.

then

Code:

make
still to be run as normal user.

and to put the cherry on the whip-cream!

Code:

make install
is to be run as root.. hence the # in front of the command.

good luck!


P.S. Yes, when you run this application, you can set-up your PPPoE connection, and you will be able to use the internet!

Maybe better the OP looks at some other postings with similar setups like himself http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ternet-731047/

Hello puntjuh,so see this,i cpoied rp-pppoe-3.10.tar.gz to linux /internet folder then-> i unzipped it with tar -xzvf rp-pppoe-3.10.tar.gz command->then at root promt type ./go and ./go-gui

and at anormal user prompt this commands

1) Unpack:

$ tar xzvf rp-pppoe-xxx.tar.gz

2) Change to source directory:

$ cd src

3) Configure:

$ ./configure

4) Compile:

$ make
at root then
4) Install (this step must be done as root)

# make install

5) Now read doc/HOW-TO-CONNECT
and then find proceed with how to instruction right just let me am i right till these steps?

puntjuh 04-23-2010 04:20 AM

Well, yes, those are the steps to follow. You only however need to follow the install directions, if .go and .go-gui don't work for you. So I take it that, .go & .go-gui didn't work out for you?

In this case, you follow the steps of the installation. If the installation steps do work out for you, no quit errors on "make install", then you should indeed read the file HOWTO-CONNECT in the directory named: "doc".

so:

Code:

cd doc
(from inside the rp-pppoe folder.

then:

Code:

cat HOWTO-CONNECT "OR" nano HOWTO-CONNECT "even" kate HOWTO-CONNECT should work.
so pick any GUI or SHELL text editor that you prefer to read the document.

If you follow these steps, as i take, you did, then you are on the right path of settings up your connection.

Good luck mate.

meandsushil 04-23-2010 05:29 AM

hi puntjuh, i am able to open this file in linux vi /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf whci is mention in HOWTO-CONNECT notes.I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THE HELL THIS INTERNET GONNA SETUP UP!HOW YOU TRIED IT BY YOURSELF?

meandsushil 04-23-2010 05:37 AM

Can anyone give me proper step by step solution for this? Atleast help me get internet on my machine rest i can do it somehow.please all you experts help me! Stop sending try and try, read and read, i did all that but some commands are not working.

linuxlover.chaitanya 04-23-2010 06:45 AM

OK. Forget it all. Go to System > Administration > Network.
There you have option for adding a new connection. Add the new connection and select xDSL option. Press next and follow the steps.
