 |
|
Hi
I am writing because i am getting some sudden problems with my ADSL connection. I can't connect any more nowadays on the internet when using both adsl-start (when everything has booted) and Rp-pppoe in the boot process.
It has been working fine over some time now, and suddenly, it stopped working. It has seen some kernel recompiling and never failed before, and i didn't change any options for quite some time.
The only way i can access Internet from linux is to load Windows xp, which somehow initializes the modem, and then boot Linux again.
The following line in /etc/conf.d/net is present like said in the manual : eth0="up".
Does anyone have any idea of why it is not working ? |

Did you do a | Code: | | emerge -u sync && emerge -u world |
and then and overwriting your config files?
If you did and overwrote all your configuration setting, you will need to reconfigure your username, password and everything in /etc/pppoe
you can run for this or just manually edit back your username and passwords in /etc/pppoe/pppoe.conf and the chap secrets. |

Nope i didn't do any emerge update.
Plus since booting in Windows XP initializes the modem makes it possible for me to use the adsl-start command afterwards successfully.
I really think it is due to a lack of initialization of the modem through the ethernet card.
I upgraded rp-pppoe, and PPP yesterday, and it didn't change at all. |

I'm helping a friend with installing gentoo.
But we don't know how to get the "adsl" stuff to the gentoo installation?
I mean, when booting from the live-cd he can use "adsl-setup" and "adsl-start" to connect.
But when booting from the installed system, there is no adsl stuff.
What package to emerge to get it - or - is there any other way to get the internet connection working?  |

After you finished installing, you have to install the program rp-pppoe
| Code: | | USE="-X" emerge rp-pppoe |
The flag USE="-X" allows you not to install the graphical interface for rp-pppoe. But if you want it, then you don't need the flag.
This is the package that connects you via adsl
After you install this package, run

thanx alot.
is there any way to get the dsl "auto-starting"?
putting "adsl-start" into /etc/conf.d/local.start didn't work 
it seems like we have to do "adsl-setup" after every boot before running "adsl-start" ? |
