DNS & Speedtouch questions [solved]

HIya,

 

I used to run MDK 9.x without any problems what so ever, when 10LE came out I couldnt get my speedtouch modem working.

 

However when 2006 came out I thought I would try again, once again i bought a club membership to have the fully blown package, and once again I am having problems.

 

I have got the modem to work after lots of tarting about, but I have a couple of problems and questions.

 

#1. The modem drops when its inactive, I think its due to being inactive as I left it downlaoding updates for mdk last night, and it dropped some time after that finished.

 

I am guessing its dropped as I cant use the internet from my windows PC, as I am typing this I have not tested it via the linux box, as that has just popped into my head, I will update this is and when it happens again.

 

Anyways any ideas as to why this may be happening, I have all the power managment disabled in the bios, and I thought it may be dropping power to USB, but that didnt solve it.

 

#2. How do I manually start the modem, pppd call adsl / pppd call speedtch dotn work.

 

#3. Shorewall, DNS seems very very slow. If I dont add my ISP's dns server to my windows PC manually I can only use the internet via IP and not DNS, even when i add it manually it seems slow to iniatally find the site, then its fine.

 

 

Any idea's or help on any of these would be great.

 

Thanks in advance.

The erro r might be because the drivers need to be compiled with the kernel version. You should go to linmodem to get the actual driver and recompile with the kernel.

Well I am using the official mdk driver that came with 2006 powerpack download.

 

I am going to drop back to 10LE and see if that solves the problem, there are a lot of little things that are bugging me about 2006, so I am going to try an older version. 9.x and 8.x worked fine, so i am hoping I wont have this problem in 10LE.
