Yugi Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 I thought this would be more appropriate here instead of networking. I have Mandrake 8.1 or 8.2 What should the login name looks like domain How can I find my IP address? NOTE: moved from installing to networking by scoopy... its networking ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yugi Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 I really need help, heres what i put in the connection wizard 1. Auto detection to find modem 2. 2 connections Normal Modem Connection LAN connection-ethernet cards detected 3.IP address- Unknown Host name 4.Network needs to be restarted No 1/ Serial Port- ttySO/COM1 (This is where i don't understand) Connection Name- Maybe a shortcut name or can someone compare it to something on windows Phone number-I've got this down Login ID- i assume this is the same as Username on windows? Password- I think this is the same as the password on windows Authentication PAP (not sure, thats what it was on anyway) Domain Name-Not sure what to put, can someone compare to something on windows. After I put my guesses as to what belongs inb I get this message when trying to connect kppp has detected a /root/.kde/share//apps/kppp.pid file. Another instance of kppp seems to be running under process-ID 7139 Make sure that you are not running another kppp, delet the pid file, and restart kppp Then I hit exit and it gives me Problems occured during configuration test your connection via-net_moniter or mcc. If your connection doesn't work, you might want to relaunch the configuration. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Login ID and password are for your ISP. Do you have an ethernet card and a modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniewicz Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 (edited) Login ID- i assume this is the same as Username on windows? Password- I think this is the same as the password on windows Login ID and password are for your ISP, not for windows Why do you need an ethernet card if you are using dial-up?

Yugi Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think it came with the laptop. So I don't need a Login I.D> or password? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 You will need the Login ID and password that your ISP gave you. It might help to remove the ethernet card, you do not need it for dial-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yugi Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 It says I have one, but then I started looking for the ejection looked in the slot, and noticed there wasn't one. If I buy an external modem, could I set it up and have it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 it looks like you have a modem but lets see which one... an external one will work... I set up 2x at XMAS... can you open a terminal as root and type lspci -v -v then paste this output I presume you have no internet on this PC buit you are rebooting to windows? If you have mounted your windows disk or have a floppy/usbkey to write to the change to a directory using the cd commands and send the output to a file like this lspci -v -v >/mnt/windows/lspci.txt you should then be able to see this from windows... if this isn't clear post back :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 that's a win exe driver and will not work in linux is it usb? if there are linux drivers made by USR they will be on the cd somewhere, well they were for mine (USR 5686 external). It wasn't usb though, it was serial which is the easiest with linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yugi Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 How does serial work. Or how can i find the USR for Linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In fact the drivers are simply the dirvers for the serial port which are pre-installed) Had you thought of looking for a linux magazine with Mandrake 10.1 on the cover disks... this is what I did whenI didn't have broadband! Im not certain but you might get the driver there but if its on the CD Id just browse it looking for some directory like linux ?? Any file called .bin or .sh etc. is likely to be a linux driver or installer, its diffiuclt to know without having the CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In fact the drivers are simply the dirvers for the serial port which are pre-installed) If you are referring to the setserial command, it was not pre-installed on my Mandrake 10.0. In fact, setserial is not on any of the 3 CD's. I had to download the setserial rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have kppp you can set the modem device to /dev/ttsy(x) depending whihc its connected top (x=1 or 2) then it just uses getty to dial... A truie hardware modem does it all itself... it just goes between serial and phone and you use the AT commands to give it instructions. The ones I set up at XMAS were in Debian... so I can't promiose what is on the MDK Cd's and what isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
