adsl-start not working


I recently installed slackware on a desktop....and I did the adsl-setup and adsl-start, it connects but I can't browse anything.....I did the same exact settings for here on my laptop but the desktop doesnt work wtf?

Its a default install of slackware 10..... what could be the problem?

Smokey - can you provide some details about your machine, and exactly what kinds of error message you are getting. I'm not sure what you mean by "it connects but can't browse anything". Are you saying that your NIC is acquiring an IP address, your eth0 interface is up and running, but that you can't access Yahoo (for example).

I will guess that the issue is that a kernel module needs to be loaded on your desktop system. What are the results of running
Code:
lspci
lsmod
ifconfig
The first command lists your PCI devices, the second one lists the kernel modules that are loaded, and the third one lists your network settings -- J.W.

??? I am dealing with one person with 2 accounts, or 2 people with 1 account each? If it's the former, don't do that. Please contact the site administrator for assistance (meaning jeremy).

In any event, it looks like you've got both an onboard LAN as well as a D-Link NIC, so I'll make the following assumptions:

* you intend to ignore the onboard LAN and use the NIC
* your cable is plugged into the NIC
* the module your NIC needs is 8139too (which does appear in the results of lsmod)

If so, then my initial guess would appear to be a dead end. Instead, the next thing I'd try would be to bounce eth0
Code:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig
What you want to see at the end of this exercise is an IP address assigned to eth0. (Currently it is missing one.) The 3 steps I listed will bring eth0 down and back up again, and then will redisplay the results. As mentioned, if it succeeds you'll see an IP address associated with eth0 and you should be able to surf without trouble. Finally, this guide contains info that I believe applies to your NIC, and may be helpful if things still aren't working.

Alternatively, or if what I've described does not correctly describe how you've got things set up, then you could try plugging in your cable to the onboard LAN, and seeing if that makes a difference. If you still have problems, post back, but please be sure to include a lot more details about your machine, how it is set up, what steps you took, what the system responses were to those steps, etc. The more info you can supply, the more effective and useful responses you will receive. Good luck with it -- J.W.
