adsl help needed - newbie

Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone.

I just installed Mandrake 10 (2.6 kernel) next to my win98 partition and need help, in order to get rid of microsoft. I still don't have a net access under mdk. : (

 

So, here is my problem:

I have a rather old comp (750mhz, 330 mb ram) and two network cards. One old teledat 300pci-dsl/ethernet modem (which won't and can't function under linux ) :angry: and a newly acquired LG LAM200E adsl modem (kernel 2.4 - 2.6 compatible, works with pppoe) with a sitecom network 10/100 pci-card.

 

Mandrake finds my network card. no problem there. Adsl-setup under mdk is also fine so far. My problem is the self-configuring LG ADSL-modem which is especially suited for Linux. When I start the modem, I have to set the ip settings of mdk(same in win98) to 10.0.0.2 (so says the installation handbook, which is a mess by the way...). Then I have to open the browser and the modem should open a configure-dialogue. It says in the handbook, that it should work like a router-setup (dunno, how that works, never had a router).

 

When I open Konqueror/Mozilla and try to access the 10.0.0.2 ip, I don't get any results, just a blank screen in Konqueror/Mozilla, so there is no chance to "self-configure" the adsl modem.

 

Is there anyone who can help me/give me a clue, what I am doing wrong, so that I can finally access the web via mandrake? (by the way, the adsl-networking under win98 with the teledat works fine, so this shouldn't be a problem with my provider, right?) :unsure:

 

Thanx in advance.

I don't have that ADSL modem, but as far as I read, it is a router mode capable one, right?

 

Here's what I did with mine, may be useful to you:

 

I configured my modem in router mode (had to do it in windows because the software was only available for it), then rebooted, booted linux, went to the Mandrake Control Center, Internet Connections, followed the wizard.

It autodetected my connection type as "LAN (Local Area Network)" and installed the dhcp daemon and dhcp client packages. It asked to restart the LAN. Ok, done. Then I had internet connection, and I could open Mozilla to browse the net and everything else :juggle:

 

Hope that helps.

 

Ah! You won't need a PPPoE dialer anymore. You may uninstall them

You say you need to configure the IP address of Mandrake to 10.0.0.2, then you try to access the same address - what you are doing here is trying to access your own computer, not the modem....

 

Try typing 10.0.0.1 into your browser - I expect that is the address you need. If not, have a look at the manual.

okay, back again... I didn't get it to work. I tried several ip's.

Just in case that it helps, here is the result i got from the konsole:

 

[root@xerxes root]# ifup eth0

[root@xerxes root]# pppoe -I eth0 -A

pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets

 

I always get the PADO-timeout message (dunno what this means), and it is irrelevant if I config the net via LAN or ADSL. Any clues?... This is so annoying. : (

The IP address (inet Adresse in output from ifconfig command) on Mandrake is 1.1.1.1 - needs to be 10.0.0.2.

 

Change the line in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to IPADDR=10.0.0.2

 

Save and reboot

 

Type ifconfig to confirm

 

Try 10.0.0.1 in your browser again

 

Let us know how you get on.

nope... when I tried to access ip 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 or 10.0.0.3, the only message I got in the browser was something like this (translation):

 

time limit expended on server

connection existed to 10.0.0.1 at port 80

 

So, what do I do now? :o

OK - just found the (German) manual on line - you need to set your PC IP address to 10.0.0.3 and then access the modem at 10.0.0.2 :

 

Sie sollten den PC wie folgt einstellen, um den Web-Browser benutzen zu können. LAM200E hat die Standard-IP-Adresse 10.0.0.2 , und der DHCP-Server ist aktiv. Siekönnen die IP-Adresse Ihres PC auf 10.0.0.3 oder Auto IP setting setzen. Starten Sie nun den Web-Browser (Internet Explorer oder Netscape). Wenn Sie die Modemadresse (http://10.0.0.2) in die Adresszeile des Web-Browsers eingeben, erscheint das Authentifikations-Fenster. Geben Sie den Benutzernamen und das Paßwort ein. (Standardmäßig lautet der Benutzername admin und das Paßwort epicrouter ). Danach wird das folgende Fenster eingeblendet. Sie können nun das Modem mit Bezug auf Kapitel 4 einstellen.

 

(I don't speak German, but Google does...) :)

Okay, I changed all and now I get this result.

I don't understand, why it bothers me now with "cable connection check". The parts are new and they ARE functional and I connected the cables to the defined parts of the dsl-modem, the splitter and the network card...

Just in case that this one helps, her comes my "ifcfg.eth0"

 

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

IPADDR=10.0.0.2

NETMASK=255.0.0.0

NETWORK=10.0.0.0

BROADCAST=10.255.255.255

ONBOOT=yes

MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no

 

Any clues? :juggle:

You have the same IP address as the modem - this cannot work & BOOTPROTO=dhcp in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 -although the modem is supposed to have a dhcp server running as default, we are trying to go static, so change to BOOTPROTO=static and IPADDR=10.0.0.3 . Also change MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes.

 

And try again :)

 

Chris

 

PS if you need to send ifconfig output again, you can use "ifconfig eth0" - it's shorter.
