Damnation Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) ok the first thing you need to do is to open up a consol and get your self into sudo mode. su > Pass once your are sudo'd, then type urpmi ppp, this will ask you if you are sure you want to install this package and its deps. once thats installed. download the alpha drivers for the modem here: Drivers now if that url is broken you need to get the Nortek drivers from here. Driver home page once you have downloaded the drivers you need to decompress the files, i don't know the command line, so i double click and copy the folder into /home. once you all is compressed, follow the step by step in the documentation file here: Pdf Documenation if you don't like pdf files there are several different formats found on this page. also covered in different languages. Docs once you get to create the configuration part, you apply custom settings. i did this in the menu. i think there is a command line version if so it should go through them all step by step. but heres the settings i use to get onto aol dsl. user: user full user name ie: user@aol.com password: your password vpi: 0 vci: 38 check update provider dns dns1: aol.co.uk dns2: aol.com selection modem: i put bt voyager 105, IF yours is not on there, follow steps in the pdf file make sure you have the right synch .bin file mine was synch03.bin ppp mode: VCM_RFC2364 use DHCP: checked (so its on) click create config. once that is done. the consol will be ready for input. this is where you test, to see if you can get online. type eciadsl-start to start the connection u can log it by doing eciadsl-start | tee log.txt hopefully you should be online. after 10-15 seconds. you will see in the consol it sending your username if thats happening. that means shortly you will be connected. any time after you've connected, and say rebooted. you will need to be sudo'd to connect. you cannot connect to the internet without root priv's. good luck Regards Damnation Edited July 13, 2005 by Damnation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
