Hi Community!
Here is what I did:
- Booting LiveCD latest version on iBook 600 G3
- unfortunatly eth0 wasn setup so I did it by 8and giving it a 192.168 address
- setting a default gw to it self
- running adsl-setup *worked very nice*
- started adsl-start
My modem TX RX lights are flashing...I see like 10 dots on my screen then process terminates with CONNTION Terminated and I get nothin.
What am I missing here?
Thankfull for any tips

hello tebor- what do you mean by that last point ? did you load a module for eth0 ? what does ifconfig say ? could you post it here ? If your ISP uses DHCP for handing out IP addresses then you shouldn't set a IP with ifconfig.
you just need to make sure eth0 is active and then adsl should take care of the rest I think, esp if you're using DHCP.

Hey
Yes I had to load a module...oh what was its name...anyways. I loaded the module...and I said ifconfig eth0 up I also tried ifconfig eth0 IP up
From what I have seen on other linux boxes its like you set some 192.168 ip on eth0 and get via DHCP your stuff witch results into the configuration of ppp0.
I was looking arround some more and browsed some logfiles. I found the following messages after starting adsl-start
PPPD: pppd 2.4.1 started by root
PPPD: Couldnt set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument
PPPoe: read(asyncReadFromPPP) Input/Output error
that goes one for like 10 tries and it all dies  |

try it without giving eth0 a IP, just:
ifconfig eth0 up
adsl-start
see what that does. |

Did..actually I just loaded the IF Module and adsl-start brought it up by itself which is nice..but still same problem. I was poking arround a bit and found out that there seems to be a common problem with that. Some PPP kernel config that is defuncted. So I tried loading the ppp_default module but got toled its already there. |

First of all thanx for the help. Unfortunatly I was not able to fix the problem with the ppp module. Anyways. I am sitting infront my ibook with gentoo running. I had to make my own kernel to fix up the ppp issue.
So long
