I just got my unlimited broadband ADSL access today, but I'm having some problems which beyond my reach. The modem: Aztech DSL900, Ethernet ADSL model, so no problem on this. The provider only support winblow (full range, from 95~Me, 2000) and no Linux. :( I setup the whole 'thing' under winblow, okay, it's a go! Problems: 1. when under 7.1 with two 8139 NIC, I set eth0 to local IP and eth1 to DHCP and connect to the modem (same PC and same setup under winblow), but when bootup, the eth1 is dead (unable to obtain IP)? 2. under root, I used ifconfig eth1 up and bring the card up, but still no IP? any solution or method to bring up the card? 3. when I anyhow play with the eth1 (up and down, reboot, etc), there was once I saw something like ppp0 with the IP from the ISP? and when I eth1 up, I managed to connect to the world, but the Kinternet icon don't work (can't disconnect). It even stay alive after I switched from root to user??? 4. After happy for a while, I decided to reboot try to figure out what's happening, and that's it, the whole 'thing' is down and unable to bring it up (the ppp0 no longer appear?) even I ifconfig eth1 up. Please help: a. how to keep the eth alive which bootup? did I missed anything? b. where is this ppp0 and how to bring it up? Please help me, I want my Linux box to talk to the world, not the winblow box! TIA. Dennis/sg
