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.
