RE: cfug-talk; Need help with ADSL: Any Roaring Penguin Pros?
David, I've got some good news. I re-did adsl-setup. I did one thing differently: I chose "0" for the firewall option. I then went back to pap/chap secret files and properly entered hostname * password. Upon adsl-start, I got the go sign, "Connected!" I wanted to see some stats on my connection so I did adsl-status. Here's the results: bash-2.04# adsl-start ..... Connected! bash-2.04# adsl-status adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:64.252.1.200 P-t-P:64.252.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 The stuff above looked somewhat decent; not that I really understand what it's telling me, so off I went to try to browse. Enter problem. I opened up Opera 5.0 browser and I cannot connect to any websites. I tried all the biggies: yahoo, excite, cnet, etc. The browser reports, "Sending request to" whatever the site address is, but No Go. I thought maybe it's a problem with the browser. I exited Xwindow system and from command line tried Lynx. Still no go. Lynx tried to find http://www.yahoo.com for a long while, stating, "HTTP request sent; waiting for response." But then I got this message from Lynx: Unable to locate remote host www.yahoo.com. Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.yahoo.com/ I can't figure out what's happening at this point. I have a live connection but I cannot seem to send and receive packets. By the way, my network card is a 3COM 905-TX. YaST read it automatically upon install and I always see it recognized every time I boot up. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to lend a hand. Mike Flug michael.flug@snet.net
try the following at the command prompt: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 64.252.1.200 metric 1 also make sure that you have a valid dns server in your /etc/resolv.conf Lary Holland Future Logic Industries, Inc. http://www.fli-online.com -----Original Message----- From: mhf [mailto:michael.flug@snet.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 1:50 AM To: DAW@yalepress3.unipress.yale.edu; dfs@roaringpenguin.com Cc: cfug-talk@list.cfug.org; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] RE: cfug-talk; Need help with ADSL: Any Roaring Penguin Pros?
