arctic Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 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 ) 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. arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchor Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 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 Hope that helps. Ah! You won't need a PPPoE dialer anymore. You may uninstall them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 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. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Okay, I will give it a try... if it works, thanx in advance, if not, I will come back. ; ) *logging off and starting mandrake* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 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]# ifconfig -a eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:50:BF:A0:68:30 inet Adresse:1.1.1.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Maske:255.0.0.0 inet6 Adresse: fe80::250:bfff:fea0:6830/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:39 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:78 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Basisadresse:0xec00 lo Protokoll:Lokale Schleife inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0 inet6 Adresse: ::1/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Maschine UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:162 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:162 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:10172 (9.9 Kb) TX bytes:10172 (9.9 Kb) sit0 Protokoll:IPv6-nach-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) [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. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 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.

arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 changed IP adress to 10.0.0.2. Here are the new results.

streeter Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Ok - now can you access the router ? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Don't know - Need to look at the manual - don't suppose I can download it off the net can I? Or perhaps you could type in the relevent parts? Chris BTW - I don't have ADSL, so just going on general networking concepts here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 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...) :) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 okay... will try it one more time... *logging off once again* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Okay, I changed all and now I get this result. [root@localhost root]# ifup eth0 Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present. Check cable? [root@localhost root]# ifconfig -a eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:50:BF:A0:68:30 inet6 Adresse: fe80::250:bfff:fea0:6830/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:44 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:88 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:11 Basisadresse:0xec00 lo Protokoll:Lokale Schleife inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0 inet6 Adresse: ::1/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Maschine UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:64 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:64 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:4078 (3.9 Kb) TX bytes:4078 (3.9 Kb) sit0 Protokoll:IPv6-nach-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) 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?

arctic Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 oops... emoticon-bug... sorry. *g* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 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.
