Are you running off of a DSL line with linux off of BellAtlantic? If so, could use a few pointers. Running 6.3, have kernel properly configured and two NICs, both are loaded properly and can config them statically to work, however can't get DHCP to talk to the Westel device for it's IP. NICs: 3c905C and eepro100-old. Once I get the NIC to talk to the box I'm fairly certain that pppoed will run flawlessly. Ideas?
Yup - I picked up the cheapie BA DSL PPPOE line. It's been working just fine for quite a while now, although it does get dropped now and again. And I'm no Linux expert. Let me get this right - you've installed the roaringpenguin PPPOE client and have everything up and running but only with static ips on both nics? Your Linux box is acting as a router/gateway to your local network then, and you most likely have reserved ips addresses internally. Check your YAST configuration setup - this sounds familiar (I wish I took better notes ;) ). If eth0 is your local network interface, it should be configured something like ifconfig_0 = 192.168.0.1, broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmast 255.255.255.0 up. Assuming eth1 is connected to your Westell box, ifconfig_1 should be null. If you assign it an ip address, dhcp will not be able to assign it one. The pppd script that is called by the adsl-connect script handles all of this. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. - Steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Over the weekend my Bell Atlantic DSL connection went down. This happened while I was reconfiguring my router and firewall. Nothing like tinkering with your connection to the outside world, and having that connection go down from the other end. I called up BAN and asked them what the problem was. They told me they don't support Linux. I said I'm using NT 4.0 sp5 now. I rebooted because I know you don't support Linux. They said they don't support sp5. I asked them if they had any way for me to test to see if I was sending the correct signals to the modem. They said no. I whiped the NT partition, replaced the NIC, reinstalled the software, and called them back. Only then would they admit the problem was on their end. Monday morning when I went to check my stocks it was still down. While this was going on a rather strange thing had taken place. IFCI had closed with what was almost certainly an erronious bid. This caused the valuation of my portfolio to drop to 10% above margin. Datek Online automatically liquidated my entire portfolio with the exception of IFCI. This cost me $3400.00 in real money, and about $10,000 in earnings if I still had the same portfolio today. I'm rather unhappy with Bell Atlantic right now. I am not even going to say what I feel toward Datek. I can say I don't have an account with thme, and they have been instructed to communicate exclusively via certified mail. Anybody know a good lawyer in the DC area? As regards my connection to BAN using Linux, I am chicken for now. I use the rp-pppoed. It works like a champ as long as BAN doesn't drop the line on me.

Just an FYI to those in the swbell area. They have switched to pppoe as well. They are no longer doing just DHCP because people abused it and connected many lines via hub..it's a shame. So if your going to get DSL from swbell.net be forewarned that they do this now.

Abused it? How? PacBell, another SBC company, couldn't care less if I hooked up a bunch of computers on my one PPPoE connection. What's stopping people from just doing NAT with the PPPoE connection? Or is that not their point? Is it because all the abusive users were taking up more than one IP via DHCP?

Yes, what I was told is that people were hooking their DSL router/modem into the hub as well as the boxes so they all got separate ips and it was filling everything up to the point that other users were refused. This is also a bit of laziness on their peoples part ... they could have set it up so that customers couldn't do this...but they decided to go with pppoe. I am so glad that I have "Enhanced" DSL w/ static ips and I am about .8 miles from the CO...damn nice connection. just my 0.02

Forgive my ingnorance , but whats wrong with pppoe ? Cant you just use linux to ip masq the network on to one ip ?

I would be a bit angry because the advert it as being up all the time when in reality it is just a high speed dialup...no better really, but that's just my opinion. One can share a pppoe connection via ip masq..but it's right back to a sort of dialup...

in what sence , does it slow down ? ie perfmance issues , or the increase complexity of tieing avery thing together and getting it all working ?

IMHO when it works it isn't an issue. Really when it works it's no different then DHCP. Well it doesn't give you some of the nice things that DHCP can. Like setting up DNS numbers for you but when it works it's fine. The problem with my ISP is that the connection drops every so often. It isn't bad for me in that the connection drops about once every 3-5weeks but still it's a nuisance. In addition every time the connection drops you get a new IP when you reconnect. DHCP would give out the same number if you reconnected with the lease period.

Yup masq works fine. Nick Nick Zentena "The Linux issue," Wladawsky-Berger explained, "is whether this is a fundamentally disruptive technology, like the microprocessor and the Internet?

o wont DHCP take care of that , just the way it does with dial up netowrking over the telco , same thing just diffrent adapter.
