ianw1974 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I have a DSL 502T and mine works a treat. First, type the following, and report back info: su (supply root password when prompted) ifconfig copy what you see back here, so we can help further. I need to ensure your PC is getting an IP address from your router. Did you configure the router to access the internet with your ADSL username and password, etc?

lynchmob Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The IP address you typed is the IP address of the router, not the dlink site. lynchmob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words you can connect to your router but either: 1) Your router is not connected to the internet... 2) Your router has not exported the default route or is not forwarding youre request... Eitherway... your linux is set up correctly probably and it is the router needs configuring. edits: just downloading the manual but it looks like there are two versions according to firmware version Edited December 22, 2005 by Gowator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yes, if you can connect to 192.168.1.1 you are connecting to your router to be able to configure it. Therefore you need to check that the wan configuration is set to PPPOA or PPPOE depending on your ISP preferences, and that you have supplied the username and password, and the correct VCI/VPI or LLC settings, again, as supplied by your ISP.

(most likely since the router also does VPN's etc. it might be something more complex) but if you are in the defaults then its likely just you need to set the connection as direct in firefox/konqueror settings.

ianw1974 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I think your connection is fine. You can ping google, and you could probably traceroute too. I think your problem is ipv6 related. Therefore, add this to the bottom of /etc/modules.conf alias net-pf-10 off reboot, and then try and access the internet again.

ianw1974 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 and if you're using Firefox do this: about:config (type in url bar) filter ipv6 change from false to true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Im presuming you are posting from XP or something on the same router in which case the connection settings are OK... your ADSL light should be on! If this is the case then since you are connected (google answers the ping) then it is just the settings in Konqueror/Firefox etc. In Firefox use Edit/preferences - General tab then choose direct. If this doesn't work try the ping again! If the ping works and the browser doesn't then we will look further.
