What exactly kind of equipment is your "ADSL-modem"? - Strictly speaking
Hey man, cool down man... I've got the 'thing' to work but not the 'suppose way' I think. The Kinternet icon can't connect or disconnect the line, it's permanently connected when the workstation is up? nevermind, since the access is unlimited. : ) the
use of the term "modem" in conjunction with ADSL is misleading: Modem=MOdulate-DEModulate and basically is used when some stage of the signal
MoDeM -> Modulator/DeModulator ( the appliance, not the function )
Dennis: I have not done a pppoe configuration, but perhaps you may find my
The word 'modem' does appear on the casing of that 'thing'. pptp configuration
page somewhat helpful. It's here:

Also, remember that you may only have one default route. If there
is one assigned before
dhclient is started, it _may_ fault, and not set up the eth1. If
two default routes are
set, you have no guarantee of a working route.
eth0 (internal IP, to LAN) does not have a default route, eth1 is to the modem with IP: 10.10.0.1/24 with gw: 10.10.0.0. I tried to use DHCP but it is unable to stay alive during bootup, there is a ppp0 up with DHCP IP from the ISP after bootup, and I believed eth1 somehow is communicating with ppp0 to establish the connection?
I like this list for most things that surface here, but I think both we who know some stuff, and those on a quest of knowledge, can well be witheout the wisdom of the besserwissers that clearly don't have a clue, and wouldn't bother buying one, even if they were given a ¢.
These were my 2¢. Hope I didn't offend too many.... Don't say that man, this list is useful for people who really want to learn and solve problems, with the contribution from people who willing to help, we are better everyday, right? Have a nice day ahead. Dennis/sg
