And I have no clue how to configure my cable modem through ppp-pptp.

_nightw0lf,
How is your cable box connected to your PC?
Common ones are USB or Ethernet.
If its USB we will need the ProductID and VendorID, which you can get from /proc/bus/usb/devices

Moved from Installing Gentoo.
Compile either built-in or as a module the CDC Ether USB driver. |

Sorry about that one Deathwing00 , I'm new here 
And I'm using an Ethernet cable connection.
I'm having a script to connect to the internet from my isp
The script contains :
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
USERNAME="egrin"
IFACE="eth0"
PPTPS=cable.netvision.net.il
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
NVGW=$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -1)
CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3)
route add -host $NVGW gw $CABLEGW dev $IFACE
./pptp $NVGW debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute persist nobsdcomp usepeerdns
sleep 7
NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1)
route add default gw $NEWGW
route del default gw $CABLEGW
echo nameserver 194.90.1.5 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 212.143.212.143 >> /etc/resolv.conf
|
Now when I execute that , thats what is comming out :
| Code: | line 7: ifdown: command not found.
line 8: ifup: command not found.
line 1: host: command not found.
line 1:ip: command not found.
gw: Unknown host
fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:236]: gethostbyname: name server error.
ppp0 error fetching interface information
device not found. |

_nightw0lf,
First, use /sbin/ifconfig to check that
a) you have an eth0
b) that its your real network card, not ethernet over firewire.
Until you get an eth0 none of the rest of this will work.
Gentoo does not have the ifdown, ifup commands
Use | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
to achieve the same thing.
The second set of errors come from the ./pptp script, which is probably complaining about something above not being right.

Well, I can see eth0 in /sbin/ifconfig
And it configured to dhcpd. |

_nightw0lf,
Good.
What happens when you hack your script the way I suggested ?

This is my script now :
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
USERNAME="egrin"
IFACE="eth0"
PPTPS=cable.netvision.net.il
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
NVGW=$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -1)
CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3)
route add -host $NVGW gw $CABLEGW dev $IFACE
./pptp $NVGW debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute persist nobsdcomp usepeerdns
sleep 7
NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1)
route add default gw $NEWGW
route del default gw $CABLEGW
echo nameserver 194.90.1.5 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 212.143.212.143 >> /etc/resolv.conf
|
After executing that script.. that is the output:
| Code: |
*Unmounting network file system [OK]
*Bringing eth0 down [OK]
*Bringing eth0 up [OK]
*Mounting network file system [OK]
./cablestartv.030: line 1: host: command not found.
./cablestartv.030: line 1: ip: command not found.
gw: Unknown host
fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:232]: gethostbyname: HOST NOT FOUND.
ppp0: error fetching interface information - Device not found. |

_nightw0lf,
It looks like your ./pptp script is running a script called ./cablestartv.030, or just ./cablestartv and this in turn is trying to execute commands 'host' and 'ip'
Can you post both the pptp and cablestartv scripts please.

I think the host and ip command that it trying to execute are here:
| Code: |
NVGW=$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -1)
CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3)
|
Or might be I'm wrong..
And this is the original cablestart.v030 script:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
USERNAME="egrin"
IFACE="eth0"
PPTPS=cable.netvision.net.il
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
NVGW=$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -1)
CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3)
route add -host $NVGW gw $CABLEGW dev $IFACE
./pptp $NVGW debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute persist nobsdcomp usepeerdns
sleep 7
NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1)
route add default gw $NEWGW
route del default gw $CABLEGW
echo nameserver 194.90.1.5 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 212.143.212.143 >> /etc/resolv.conf

_nightw0lf,
Try this:- | Code: | #!/bin/bash
USERNAME="egrin"
IFACE="eth0"
PPTPS=cable.netvision.net.il
./pptp $(hostname) debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute persist nobsdcomp usepeerdns
sleep 7
NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1)
route del default
route add default gw $NEWGW
echo nameserver 194.90.1.5 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 212.143.212.143 >> /etc/resolv.conf

I've tried it, this is the outputs:
| Code: | fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:236]: gethostbyname: name server error
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found.
SIOCADDRT: No such device. |

_nightw0lf,
ppp0 didn't come up for some reason, so the system was unable to get the ip address used by ppp0.
The pptp script must bring up ppp0 before it can tunnel over it.
Is there anything useful in your kernel log at /usr/log/<DependsOnLogger/. Beware of your username and password being there in plain text.

I didn't find anything useful in /var/log
But I did found new Netvision Cable script for gentoo. (nvcables-gentoo-0.3.tar.bz2)
It says to copy the nvstart.conf to /etc/conf.d/nvstart
And copy the nvstart.init to /etc/init.d/nvstart
Now after it done to type: rc-update add nvstart default .
ok
nvstart.init
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
need net
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting nvcable-gentoo..."
[ -n $PPTPS ] || eerror "no \$PPTPS set!"
[ -n $USERNAME ] || eerror "no \$USERNAME set!"
NVGW=$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -n 1)
echo $NVGW > /boot/pptp-nvgw
CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3)
route add -host $NVGW gw $CABLEGW
pptp $NVGW debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute persist
sleep 7
NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -n 1 | cut -d" " -f1)
route add default gw $NEWGW
route del default gw $CABLEGW
chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
}
stop() {
ebegin "stoping nvcables-gentoo..."
ifconfig ppp0 down
killall pptp
[ -f /boot/pptp-nvgw ] || eerror "missing /boot/pptp-nvgw!!!"
CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep `cat /boot/pptp-nvgw` | cut -d" " -f3)
route del `cat /boot/pptp-nvgw` gw $CABLEGW
rm /boot/pptp-nvgw
sleep 2
route add default gw $CABLEGW
dhcpcd -n
}
|
nvstart.conf
| Code: | USERNAME=username
PPTPS=cable.netvision.net.il
#PPTPS - cable.netvision.net.il for netvision
#PPTPS - aztv.012.net.il for 012 internet zahav
|
I did like the manualy says, And when I start gentoo this is what I get:
| Code: | *Starting nvcable-gentoo.......
/sbin/rc: line 1: host: command not found.
/sbin/rc: line 1: ip: command not found.
gw: Unknown host.
anon fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:353]: gethostbyname 'debug': HOST NOT FOUND.
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
Usage: inet_route [-vF] del {-host|-net} Target[/perfix] [gw GW] [metrin M] [[dev] If] |
Here is where I've downloaded the script from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvcables-gentoo/ |

| The "ip" command is in package sys-apps/iproute2 and "host" is in net-dns/bind-tools. |

_nightw0lf,
Thats right. You can also say
| Code: | | emerge package1 package2 ... |
and emerge will work its way through the list.

Well I did emerge to iproute2 and it installed it well.
But when I'm trying to install the other package bind-tools
It send me to the internet to download it..
So I've copied the file name " bind-9.2.3.tar.gz " and installed it manually
I did ./configure
make
The first error has disappeared ( the ip : command not found )
And the error with the host thing is still there..
So it seems I didn't install it well,
Anyone know what exactly should I do?
Thanks in advance. |
