Just had to reinstall mandrake and tried to follow my points. Sleeper service is right. You need to open the mandrake installer. Search for bc (i'm still not sure if you need gcc because I did it before without installing it) but I searched for both bc and gcc and installed both. I got some errors installing because I don't have disk 4. I went to the software management tool and deselected disk 4. Didn't complain this time. Then it was complaining about not finding pppd. Did a search in the installer for ppp and installed all that it came up with. Followed lets eat gary's instructions, with the modem plugged in and it all worked fine.

 

Thanks once again lets eat gary

Congratulations and welcome to the board.  :)

 

thanks i'm loving linux, soooooooo much faster

 

i have a bit of trouble which you may help with, i can't setup network. i want to be able to have usb modem and connect to my kiss dp500 ethernet divx player via network card. as soon as i enter settings for network i lose internet connection. if i then go back and run speedconfig.sh all is well again but no network.

 

is there any way to setup up a local network ip of 192.168.000.001 and 255.255.0.0 but keep my internet connection as it is?

 

hope this isn't too :offtopic:

This wont work for ADSL over pppoe!!!!

 

But, since I had ran mdk 10.0 with my speedtouch 330 with a how to I found, I managed to used it also to get all this stuff working.

 

I'll be posting a full how to over pppoe, later. Problaly as new topic.

i don't get it :o

 

become root and ./speedtouchconf.sh < how and what does the last bit mean?

 

you will have to enter your username and password and your vpi/vci < where?

- in the uk its 0 38

 

set it to load at boot < how?

 

:wall:

At a shell type su, you'll be asked to enter root's password, type it and hit enter.

 

and what does the last bit mean?

Again at the shell, and as root now type ./speedtouchconf.sh

you will have to enter your username and password and your vpi/vci < where?

- in the uk its 0 38

Once you do the previous step, you'll be asked about username, password and your VPI(blank space here)VCI.

 

set it to load at boot < how?

Go to Mandrake Control Center ---> System ---> Services ---> and add a check-mark on the speedtouch check-box service.

 

Hope It helps!!!

helps alot thanks, but 1 more question, how do i get to 'the shell'?

 

total linux n00b here, but when i got the basics there'll be no stopping meh  :beer:

 

Well, that depends!!! :P

 

Did you instal Konsole? RXvt?

 

Well, open your Star(t) Menu, then to System submenu, then to the Terminals submenu, and there you'll find all the terminals/shells you installed.

Simply use the one you have, it'll do!!!

i've tried writing loads of stuff and changing to the directory with the speedtouch stuff in but it always says bash or bad something... i forget.
