Hello, John. What hardware are you using to connect to the DSL line with ? Is it an external DSL Router, like the Cisco 675 ? Or do you have an internal card ? If you have the external router, with the phone line and ethernet interfaces, I don't think you need to worry about PPPoE, as the router deals with all that. However, if you have a more bridge like device, then the PPPoE idea from Don might be right on the money. You also need to set up the routing table on the Linux box so that it knows which interface to use to route to which network. You should create entries for both NICs so that you have reciprocal routes. Also tell it to use the external interface by default. It will know to use 192.168.x.y for traffic on that network, and will then try to get to the outside world for any other requests. Best of luck, Stuart.
Hello All,
I've been trying to get this to work all night, with very nasty results. Today I got DSL installed at home, and my previous setup was my Linux box (SuSE 6.3) serving as a dial-up gateway for the LAN (this NT machine where I'm writting this email at, and a BeOS box). I thought, no sweat.
I cannot beleive that there would be some sort of incompatibility between the DSL and my Linux box. The only setup difference that I can perceive (TCP/IP wise) is that one of the boxes has 1 NIC and the other has 2. Maybe there's something I need to change from my eth1->ppp0 gateway to a eth1->eth0 setup?? I've been using yast for everything.
