Lando Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 With the same Adsl ethernet line connection ,same PC , ...Mandriva live 2006 can do the interrnet connection and Mandriva 2006 official not. I've configured through Control Center ... I'ved also tried using "adsl.-setup" procedure but still when I start the line with "adsl-start" i get Time-Out.... What can I do ?

daniewicz Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) I have my linux box configured to do DHCP my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 looks like this: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=XXX.XXX.X.XXX MTU=1492 my /etc/resolv.conf looks like this: search launchmodem.com nameserver XXX.XXX.X.XXX nameserver XXX.XXX.X.XXX where XXX.XXX.X.XXX is my DHCP host Edited September 23, 2006 by daniewicz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Something is changed...I don't know why.... It says "connected" but the browser cannot get access to internet...cannot resolve addresses... In Control Center Internet configuration I check only on (...and it has always worked...) "ADSL" "eth0" "write my ISP data" "PPPoE" MY >>> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR="No IP" NETMASK="No mask" BROADCAST=255 ONBOOT=no METRIC=10 MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes PEERDNS=yes NETMASK="No mask" IPADDR="None" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pppoe is missing...while I've it in Mandriva live. Below ifconfig and route that should be wrong ( in MDRV live there isn't "lo") [root@localhost lando]# adsl-start ........... Connected!

arctic Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Could you please explain exactly which type of network you are trying to set up? Is this an ASDL modem with static IP or dhcp? Is your computer connected directly to that modem or do you use a LAN/ethernet card for connecting to the ADSL modem? I am asking because your post above reveals that you have an eth0 card entry as well as a ppp0 entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwah Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) With mine, I connect to the internet directly with a Speedtouch USB ADSL modem, (I also have a NIC (eth0) for connecting my 2 PC's together, but that has nothing to do with the net), anyway, after I set up/install the USB, I can't access anything on the net, although I am connected. All I have to do is go into the firewall(shorewall) set up through MCC, and select the pppo connection as the connection to protect and away I go. I have also had to add the name servers to the resolve.conf, as mentioned above, but mostly that has been ok. One other time, when I installed the modem after I had been accessing the net through an XP machines connection, I had to change the order of addresses in the resolve.conf. It had something like this, nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver xxx.xxx.x.x nameserver xxx.xxx.x.x xxx.xxx.x.x = primary and secondary numbers given by my isp all I done was change it like this nameserver xxx.xxx.x.x nameserver xxx.xxx.x.x nameserver 192.168.0.1 and all was good. On all occasions I had similar symtoms to what you are experiencing, being actually connected to the net, but not being able to access anything via browser, email etc, and thats what has fixed it for me.

AussieJohn Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 With 2006 you must make sure that when setting up your internet connection in MCC you select LAN and NOT adsl even though you are adsl connected. This is where more than half of the connection help requests come from. Using the etho indicates you are using Lan rather than USB (and that is smart). Cheers. John.

AussieJohn Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I thank you Arctic. Actually wanted to include it in the signature as I see others do but I couldn't work it out so I thought a change would be OK for a while. Cheers. John.

ianw1974 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Sounds to me that your /etc/resolv.conf is empty and this is why you cannot browse the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Mandriva live works fine with Adsl configuration .............................. I've tried a Lan configuration ......without results. Maybe because I know very little about Lan - I've a Realtek|RTL-8139 interface (eth0) connected to a simple modem...not a router! I'm not in a Lan ! I've tried this attempt because I've nothing to do! in desperation ! Below ifconfig after a Lan configuration that ended with congratulations !!!!!!!!!..but that doesn't work. Then at the end of lan configuration I was asked to start X environment because of the changed hostname !?!? But I 've typed "localhost" as hostname........... Have I to reinstall the system the third time ?

AussieJohn Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I don't know which adsl modem you are using but from the few I have come across most seem to have another port besides usb. This other port connected to the etho port on your mainboard can constitute a Lan as far as I know. The experts may tell me I am wrong. That is how I am connected up adsl and have not needed a router or switcher. I know I would need a router if I wanted to connect my two home computers to oneanother and to the adsl line but that is an entirely different situation. Cheers. John.

ianw1974 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think a lot of it depends where you come from. In the UK, we mostly have PPPOA connections. In other places, such as Canada PPPOE. The difference: PPP over ATM PPP over Ethernet this is why some USB modems have ethernet ports, so that you can do PPP connections over ethernet directly from your LAN card in your machine. In the UK, at least on standard telephone lines, there is no PPPOE, and therefore I've never seen a USB modem with anything other than the USB cable and the port to connect to the phone socket. This could be same situation for Lando, although he mentions he's using the ethernet port, but also says he's not. So is a little confusing.

Last week my H.D. is dead and contained my old WinMe that went to Internet trough USB connection (but with another modem with USB interface....). That H.D. doesn't exist any more.The USB attachement is unplugged. Tha new H.D. contain WinXP that works fine with the PC ethernet interface plugged to a simple modem with ethernet interface .Of course when I boot Mandriva this connection doesn't work. Dont' say that motherboard builds a Lan with a ghost. I've copied /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ from MDK live.... but it's not enough. What can I copy now ? Thanks. PS-Sorry for my English....
