SBC DSL runs ok here on Suse 8.2. Have had lots of problems but they were all external. Did SBC assign you a static address(es)? If not you should have DHCP on. Jack Reilly On Mon, 2003-09-29 at 18:26, Casey Petersen wrote:
I'm a linux newbie, and I've just signed up for SBC DSL Internet Access, and I'm having a world of trouble getting it to work with Linux. After speaking with the tech support idiots (they told me Linux doesn't support DSL), I've spent quite a bit of time trolling the internet for answers.
I'm running Suse 8.2, I have a Speedstream DSL modem that SBC gave me, connected via Ethernet. I installed Roaring Penguin's RP-PPPOE but it still won't recognize the modem and the connection won't work.
Does anyone use SBC or a similar service that can help me out getting it up and running? It already works on my windows computer, so I don't need to sign up with them, just get linux to recognize the connection. Also, as far as the Ethernet settings, should DHCP be turned on for this, or should I use a static IP address?
Thanks,
