Greetings!
Previously, I was using wvdial.dod and ip masquerading with an analog modem to get my network connected to the internet. Now I get Pac Bell DSL (dynamic IP) and a Westel DSL modem, I'm totally clueless on how to get my linux box to work with this new device. My windows system is running flawlessly with the provided software with a 911kps downward rate. Any ideas for the rest of my network?
What software is running in windows? More to the point is it a pppoe client or just DHCP ?
The technician installed "NTS Ethernet 300" client that behaves quite similiar to the Windows Dial Up Network client. The DSL modem is using DHCP to get a dynamic IP and it is currently plug into the hub. (I plan on building a two NIC firewall box to take care of security.) I'm not sure if I need the pppoe or DHCP client.
It's PPPoE. The dynamic IP is supplied by PPP, not DHCP. The Linux client actually works better than the Windows one.
Think it's DHCP here guys. Notice he said the modem is plugged into a hub. My pppoe won't work with a hub. -- Bob F EMail BobFi@SWBell.net A Truly Wise Man Never Plays Leapfrog With A Unicorn... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
