Lando Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I've done Internet settings through Control Center . At the question "do you want to start the connection at boot ? " one can only answer "yes" otherwise the connection fails ! Then I reply YES ! .... and Internet works. The second problem is that sometimes at boot time when appear on the log "bringing up PPP0" the system stops ! Sometimes continues if I hit enter and some characters.....! Is there a bug about it ? Thanks a lot . Edited January 23, 2006 by Lando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 It seems you have the ppp0 device set to load at bootup. Best thing to do is disable this, so open a terminal, and then type the following: cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ls -l you will get a listing of files. One might be named ifcfg-ppp0, I'm guessing this is what it will be called so now type: su (supply root password when prompted) rm ifcfg-ppp0 it will prompt you if you want to delete, say yes. I'm guessing you are using ethernet for your internet, because you don't mention whether this is the case. If you are using dialup, then don't follow the above procedure. To stop ppp0 loading at startup if you are using dialup, just go back into the configure tool, and make sure it's not set to connect at bootup. You can launch this manually using the ppp tool in your menus to connect to the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 OK, cool. When you get it up, just delete the ppp0 file as previously mentioned, that will stop the ppp0 connecting at bootup. Try pressing ESC or spacebar to pass by the ppp0 starting connection. Usually enter should pass it though from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 So, is everything OK now, or is there still a problem?!? I'm just wondering if we're now all solved and sorted! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sorry for my bad English...the problem is still here ...though there wasn't ifcfg-ppp0 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I think your system is configured to bring up ppp each time you start. I would reconfigure your ethernet connection. Make sure you choose LAN. Do not choose ADSL or PPP, since this will use a PPP type connection to connect to the internet. I assume your computer is connected to an ADSL router?

Lando Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have a modem...(not a router , I think so ) ....and on MDK 10.0 I have configured ADSL ,PPPOE,and so on....and it works. Moreover Mandriva "service -s" shows >>>>>>>> adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe) though it is working ! and >>>>>>>>>>>>> [root@localhost lando]# adsl-stop adsl-stop: No ADSL connection appears to be running ---and route is OK ! >>>>>>>>>>> [root@localhost lando]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 20 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 20 0 0 ppp0 [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've get what I wanted using "adsl-setup" procedure instead of Control Center procedure ! Now with adsl-start and adsl-stop the connection can be started and stopped ....... and the bring up of PPP0 is never done at boot ! ...and the link is up and running if it is working !!!! >>>>> [root@localhost lando]# service -s adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0 Though I don't know the differences beetwen these two procedures...I' m ok !
