I use SuSE 9.0 and try to setup an ADSL connection with a fix IP address over PPPoE. Interestingly it worked, but I did something and it stopped working! My data: PPPoE: login name, password adsl-start shows me connected! and gives me an pppoe IP of 61.x.x.a and an opposite IP address of 61.y.y.b I cannot ping the opposite I address (maybe blocked by the provider) I setup my fix ip address in the network card info of YAST eth0: 222.c.c.37 the default gateway gives me already doubts: I tried 222.c.c.254 and I tried 61.x.x.b I cannot ping anything outside! I see the ADSL modem is flashing (LAN and WAN) though. netstat -rn looks ok for me as well as ifconfig. Any ideas? bye Ronald

Was this an address assigned by your ISP? If not you -will- have problems.
My data: PPPoE: login name, password

What is "an opposite IP address"?
I cannot ping the opposite I address (maybe blocked by the provider)

Again, where did you get these addresses from? These are public addresses and if you are trying to use them on your private lan you could have problems.

But them you seem to have very little experience with networks. Try posting the results to this list and have others take a look. There may be a major problem you can't see.
Any ideas?

Ken, sorry, that I did not say that so clear at the beginning, but the sentence "... it stopped working" should have indictated that I go the IP addresses from the ISP. With self assigned public IP addresses it would not be working a single time. Again, I did not mention, that it is a server! However, you are right, you should never assume anything more than written down ;-)

PPPoE = Point to Point over Ethernet, do you agree with that? so you get an interface ppp0 which includes the local and the opposite IP address! Over this connection the network eth0 should be established, .... thank you again for sharing your concern, ... bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger (CEO of ELMIT) http://www.elmit.com +886 (0) 939--77-55-16 or FWD 511208 - I'm a SpamCon Foundation Member, #694, Verify it at http://www.spamcon.org PS: Spam prevention!

Is there a reason for sending to me AND the list? If you are replying to someone helping you they get a copy from the list so no need to Cc: them as well. That is what I have in my sig!(fourth line) -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*

And again, try Google: "define: PPPoE"
I am sure that helps :-D Martin
