Hi Jon and all the help from others, I've got it working now. : ) and this mail is sent from my Linux box.
What exactly kind of equipment is your "ADSL-modem"? - Strictly speaking the use of the term "modem" in conjunction with ADSL is misleading: Modem=MOdulate-DEModulate and basically is used when some stage of the signal is analog (e.g. between the serial port and the device)
Sorry for my ignorance on using the term 'modem', but I really dunno what should I call it, but it's not important now as long as it work, and under Linux. : )
Since your setup involves two nic's the proper term to use would be "ADSL-adaptor", which then brings me to this:
a: the device is some sort of PPPoE adaptor, in which case I have little help to offer :-(
No, the 'thing' only need one NIC, I connected it to eth1 since eth0 is connected to the LAN.
b: the device is something similar to a router, in which case I have this help to offer:
If your device acts as a router, and your ISP tells you to use DHCP, then it is, in fact, your router that acts as a DHCP-server as well. If this is the case then what you may try is the following:
I am trying to setup the route so that the rest of the PCs can share the connection. Any quick solution?
Start up your Wintendo (if I read previous message correct you have it working with DHCP?).
Start>run>winipcfg>'ok'
This will tell you some stuff about which IP-adress/netmask the router assings your PC. Make a note of this.
Shut down Wintendo. Boot up Linux. Using your method of choice (yast) to assign eht1 an IP-adress in the same subnet as what you got under Wintendo. Restart your network, and you *should* be up...:-)
This is more or less what I did to get my Linux-box working with the Cisco-router that my ISP provided.
Because even though your router acts as a DHCP-server, it doesn't care if your machine has a static IP-adress...
Somehow, I tried the other suggestion by giving eth1 a local IP 10.10.0.1/24 and using Yast2 to set the ADSL to point to eth1, it's done, and works. !
Hope this helps! ;-)
