A) i started this post before i went down there the first time ...to gather information so i wouldn't be going down there blind. i then went down there with what i had learned... struck out... so now i'm back... gathering info before round 2.
B) my mom has one computer... at her house... 40 miles away from here. (i.e. here being my apartment & my computer..) there is no windows 98... only slackware now. i know the dsl works (it worked before) ... just trying to configure it... so.... while i'm not 100% sure if i turned on the mod for her pci ... IF i did... and the modem is not working... what would be the next thing to try? or is that it? asking now... so i can try and prepare for the worse...lol. |
alright here's what's up... trying to get my mom's speedstream 5100 dsl modem working with sbc yahoo. i've been told that the modem does ppp by itself... in otherwords it's got all the stuff it needs to con nect inside the modem.... just changed the file

did you try running adsl-setup. i didn't go back and read the whole thread. i am responding to you post in the other thread. i would also run lsmod to make sure you are loading the proper module

Ok, looking at your 'dmesg' output it looks like its sucessfully finding your NIC
Code:
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xcc83af00, 00:40:05:09:c9:11, IRQ 11 Code:
# Config information for eth0: Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_restart Code:
ifconfig eth0 Next Click on the blue Advanced button, then in the drop down buttons click on PPP Location. Make sure that PPP is on the modem is the one that is selected. If not change it, and click on Save Changes. Next click on the the Connection Configuration button and scroll all the way down to the bottom and make sure that Yes, use public IP address is the one that is selected. If not change it then click on Save Changes. After doing all of this, rerun the commands Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_restart If you follow all these steps and it still doenst work, paste me exactly what you typed and the output you get from each and ill try to debug it. Note that after you go into your modem's web config and you dont see anything about "PPP is on the modem" then NONE of this will work. Also DO NOT run the pppoe command, again there is no need for this as all of this should be done on the modem, not your linux box. Also DO NOT try to manually set up your ip using ifconfig, again you are trying to use DHCP so this is not necessary. |
no go... here's what i get.......

Did u try this?

yes...andwith my modem it doesn't work. it doesn't use it.

Is the modem plugged directly into your mom's computer using an ethernet cat5 cable with an rj45 jack? Or are you plugging the modem into a router? Also run the command mii-tool to make sure that the link between the network card and the modem is working.
If your NIC is directly connected to the modem, and assuming linux detects your NIC (which it seems to do) and the link is working (which mii-tool will tell you) there should be no reason why you cannot browse to your modem's web config page, regardless if the internet is working or not. I too have the speedstream 5100 and I know for sure its http://192.168.0.1 for me, however perhaps you have a differnt revision and maybe the ip address is differnt. You might want to try http://192.168.0.100 which was my cable modem's page. |
root@dog:~# mii-tool
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Invalid argument no MII interfaces found root@dog:~# http://192.168.0.100 no go... same error as other address um.... there's a phone line running into the modem... then a yellow phone chord=ish looking thing running in back to the computer into the realtek pci card thingie lol... the green light on the back of the computer for the card is on. |
Ok it looks like something isnt right with dhcpcd which is the client that grabs an IP from your modem so we are going to have to add a few lines to get some detailed logs. First thing I want you to do is to edit your /etc/syslog.conf. Somewhere on its own line I want you to put the following code
Code:
local0.* /var/log/dhcpcd.log Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.syslog restart Code:
killall dhcpcd Code:
/sbin/dhcpcd -t 10 -d eth0 |
root@dog:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog restart

Hmm, this is definitly a DHCP problem, you should be getting a response from the modem. Im pretty sure we already checked to make sure this isnt a firewall problem, if not make sure that iptables -L -n reports back no rules and the POLICYies are set to ACCEPT. Other than that im pretty much out of ideas. Is your speedstream modem black and has 5 lights, and is the Power and Ethernet light solid green?
|
the modem is black with 4 lights....
power ethernet dsl activity the first 3 are on... the forth only goes on when it's reading data... root@dog:~# iptables -L -n Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination root@dog:~# |
ahh, you have the older version of the Speedstream 5100. The newer version which does PPP on the modem has a 5th light called "Internet". So i guess you have two choices 1) Learn how to set up pppoe cause I don't know how. Or 2) call up SBC and ask them to trade it in for the newer version with the 5th Internet light and follow the steps I gave you.
|
well...first of.. thanks for the help... 2nd... after several thousand tries with all sorts of things (including adsl-setup) i managed to actually get online! lol... i did adsl-setup (again) but this time caught a simple mistake i put in..lol it's sbcglobal not sbcyahoo... i feel silly.. turned out to be such a minor mistake. anyways thanks again.. sorry for all the troubles :D
