Ed the N00B Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Just registered to say thanks really. I was having enormous problems getting my Speedtouch to work with Mandrake 10 and this thread has (eventually) solved my problem. Arthur's code snippets along with one or two of the point's made by Havin It resolved it in the end. I had to add the line: alias speedtdch off to modprobe.conf twice - running the configuration tool again seemed to remove it. I had to run the tool though since putting the correct vpi/vci numbers into /etc/ppp/peers/adsl manually didn't work. Ran the tool and entered 0,38. Opened the file and as Havin It said, I found it contained 0,56! Changed it to a 38 and still no luck with the connection script. Re-booted the machine (hard to break Windows habits! :P ) and this time tried with the full script: #!/bin/bash modem_run -m -f /path/to/alcaudsl.sys pppd call adsl sleep 4 ifconfig iptables -A INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp --syn -j DROP Instead of just the two lines. The ifconfig output didn't look any different which I still don't understand, but this time a ping to www.google.com actually got a response! You cannot imagine my elation! Thanks for youyr help guys. I would appreciate if anyone has any tips on how to run the script as root at boot time, but even having to start up the connection manually is a joy compared to no connection at all! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peteoshea Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Thanks to all of the advice on this thread I have managed to manually start a connection with Mandrake 10CE, but how can you stop and start the connection at will? I am back using Mandrake 9.2 at the moment because I like to have to connection up all of the time and a simple service internet restart would restart the connection if it went down for any reason. I cannot find anyway of restarting the connection using the method on this thread. Killing the pppd and modem_run commands and then restarting them doesn't work?
