meepmaster Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) Well, I installed linux again on a different harddrive. It still seems to hate my modem :( Ok, I installed the update packages for drakconnect I found 5 minutes ago. I need to know how to set it up. I've got as far as autodetecting the modem. I can type in my username and password. Then it asks my for a 'dns' or something. The Tiscali UK website doesn't say a thing about the server setup. The only information it mentions is for the dial up service How do you other people do it? (btw, the eagle package still doesn't compile) Edited January 26, 2004 by meepmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 "(btw, the eagle package still doesn't compile)" So I guess your modem is a Sagem FAST 800 USB modem ? I have one at home. Works with ML9.1 & ML9.2 setting (uses eth1), I didn't tried it with Sagem's drivers. There is two way of setting it with mcc on ML9.2: - Sagem modem using pppoa, - Sagem modem using dhcp. try both. My provider changed its setting, I was first pppoa then it became dhcp ( switched from 512K to 1024K+ for the same price B) ) When it became dhcp I had to change something on /etc/analog/adiusbadsl.conf Can't say exactly what now as I'm at work. More may be tonight. BTW: there must be something about your DNS on your ISP website. Just find it. BTW2: as tiscali is a big company, there also must be something on the Sagem website about the /etc/analog/adiusbadsl.conf setting. hope this help roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I don't know about adsl, but on cable you don't have to put any dns or http/ftp proxies. Just leave those fields blank, should/may/might work... Correct me if I'm wrong guys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmaster Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I just have it set on eth0. Maybe that's why the busy light doesn't even blink. I'll try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmaster Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Nope. It still doesn't even try. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Does Mandrake detect your modem? Have you tried to setup the ip using dhcp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 (edited) sorry: forgot to have a look on /etc/analog/adiusbadsl.conf at home. You confirm it's a Sagem Fast 800 USB modem ok ? I know it's detected by ML9.1, 9.2 and I guess 9.0. So just let DrakConnect do the job. From memory: - First clean everything: uninstall adiusbadsl rpm with RpmDrake, and also Shorewall, just in case, - Run DrakeConnect: - Run the Wizard, - check expert mode, next - there must be Sagem usb modem detected. check it if not already checked and UNcheck LAN, next, - give the informations; leave them empty if you have a doubt. Tiscaly uk DNS servers are: DNS1: 212.74.112.66 DNS2: 212.74.112.67 - check start internet at boot, ok, ok, until you are finish, no need to try to connect now. - Now, run an editor, root mode, - edit /etc/analog.adiusbadsl.conf, - set VPI to 0, - set VCI to 26 (=38 in hex), - set encapsulation to PPPoA VCmux (6 if I remember well: see the comments) !! carefull: let the leading 0s, set values without changing the format !! - save - now reboot. - once booting is finish (it can be long if your couldn't connect), open a Text terminal: Ctrl-Halt F1, - log as root, TRY: - try "ping google.com" without the quotes, - if it's ok .. its ok: finish ELSE: - unplug the usb, wait a few second, - replug the usb, - wait the 2 leds are on, not blinking, - run "service internet restart" without the quote, goto TRY if still not ok, run ifconfig -a and send us the result. for more info see: http://www.sagem.com/web-modems/download/s...1000-en.htm#800 and http://www.tiscali.co.uk/help/broadband/ro...r_settings.html good luck roland Edited January 27, 2004 by roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmaster Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Well, the configuration file doesn't exist. And according to the internet program neither does a lot of other files. [root@localhost root]# ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com [root@localhost root]# service internet restart Stopping internet connection if needed: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_down: line 2: /usr/sbin/stopadsl: No such file or directory [FAILED] Waiting 10 sec before restarting the internet connection.

roland Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 (edited) Well at least you start with a "clean" system as far as your connection is concerned: nothing is installed. good. :P Redo exactly like I've said . Normally DrakConnect is going to install adiusbadsl rpm and ask you for the cd-rom. Btw which distro are you runing ? Please let us know how it goes by roland Edited January 29, 2004 by roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmaster Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 That's a funny thing, when I first installed mandrake if I didn't have a package it asked for the cdrom. But after the latest clean installations it simply says "package not found." Like when I wanted to look at the manual, on the previous installations I did it asked for disk 3 so it could install the package. But the latest installations it tells me it's installing packages but no progress meter appears and finally displays a 'package not found' error.

roland Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Witch version of Mandrake ? If those problems occurs during a clean install it looks like your disk are not good. A download problem or a burning problem. check the md5sum. for ML9.2 downloaded edition its: 40c8812dce7b9f8fb0a3b364af62b974 Mandrake92-cd1-inst.i586.iso e07fe7b1474eb3ba35cac3dfd479777e Mandrake92-cd2-ext.i586.iso 2b6ffc5957533c927f14197ec99a0372 Mandrake92-cd3-i18n.i586.iso roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmaster Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I no longer have the iso files though, I deleted them not long after mandrake had installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 So there is two solutions I know: - create an Iso file from the cd with K3B for example, and do as if you are making a new CD from those files. K3B will give you the checksum. There must be other way but I don't know. - dowload the isos again. I'm still guessing you have a SAGEM FAST 800 USB modem and want to run a ML9.2 download edition as you didn't confirmed it :unsure: roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
