Now I the konsole asked me to put in the vci/vpi nr, login and passw, then it the modem light went on and off, after 20 secs, the modem light were on and stayed on. It said that everything was installed, but couldn't connect. I had to check the vci/vpi nr's in the etc/ppp/peers/adsl file (those were right) Ii also had to check a file called etc/ppp/*-security (or something like that) but I have no file called like that in the ppp folder. Now I don't know what to do. I don't know how to connect, and/or to solve the problem. Is there someone recognizing the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 what file is it you have to check? could you post it here? maybe it should be /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets where you put in your username and password. to connect, type 'pppd call adsl' or 'pppd call whatever' if you have a different name. if you then try 'ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com' and get a response, you're connected. please see my LONG post in the first page of this thread for more information. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inflexion Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 just try a reboot, it happens sometimes with mine. even unplugging and replugging the modem will work:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totovich Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 just try a reboot, it happens sometimes with mine. even unplugging and replugging the modem will work:) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tried to reboot a lot of times, and also to unpug. This is the exact error: Configuring SpeedTouch Driver...Software Configuration - SUCCESS Building SpeedTouch Driver... Software Build - SUCCESS Installing SpeedTouch Driver... Software Installation - SUCCESS Creating ppp files in //etc/ppp *** Configuration finished. Starting the connection *** The modem lights should start flashing for approx. 20 seconds... The lights should both be solid green now. Running : pppd call adsl ********************************* * Don't seem to have connected. * ********************************* Please check the username and password in /etc/ppp/*-secrets. Also check the VPI/VCI in /etc/ppp/peers/adsl Then run /etc/rc.d/init.d/speedtouch start Current settings: fa482967@SKYNET / passw / 8 / 35 I checked the pap and chap secrets files in the etc/ppp directory, and pass and login were right in those files. I also tried /etc/rc.d/init.d/speedtouch start but he didn't recognize the command. And Arthur, I did exactly the same things as you said in the long post. I also tried pppd call adsl, but there was no response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inflexion Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 it might be a stab in the dark here but if your 100% sure your username ans password is right recheck your VCI/VPI they might not be correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totovich Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) it might be a stab in the dark here but if your 100% sure your username ans password is right recheck your VCI/VPI they might not be correct? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm very sure it is correct. two numbers: 8 35 in winXP I have to put in p8,35 but since linux asks me for two numbers, I only put in: 8 35 isn't it possible to setup the speedtouch usb modem in mandrake 10.1 control Center? I tried it with that, but it couldn't connect either. I chose adsl, and ppp0 (adsl with ethernet) Edited January 17, 2005 by Totovich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totovich Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 ok, I'm online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you never gonna beliiiiive what the problem was... When use adsl with winxp, I can only connect with this login: xxxxx@SKYNET so skynet in capitals. In linux, it only works with small letters, so xxxxx@skynet weird, but tanx to Arthur and Inflexion, who helped me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totovich Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 tanx guys, and believe me, I don't give up. Actually I like Linux a lot. Since I format c:\ my computer, I only used xp for interner. But now I only use linux. Next thing I'm going to do is to make a fancy kde layout. I want transparant windows for example. Gonna find out how to do this :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
