 Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 3:01 pm Post subject: ADSL trouble (solved) |
 |
|
Hi !
I just recently got a new ISP and an ADSL connection.
I need a password to connect so I emerged rp-pppoe...
Now here are the problems:
If I don't set the DEMAND value on something other than "no".. I can't connect( I get a TIMED OUT massage)
If I set it it "connects" with no errors but there is no actual connection...
ppp0 appears with a strange IP: 10.10.112.113
Basically.. could someone just explain to me in detail how this should work ?
Everyone says "Just run adsl-setup and than adsl-start and it'll run !".. not for me it won't... is there something I missed ?
Any suggestions ?

| What kind of ADSL-modem do you have USB/ethernet? |

ethernet..
using 2.6 kernel
does rp-pppoe actually work ?
I have seen many posts about this TIMED OUT problem and not one of them has a solution it seems...

| I have an ethernet ADSL modem to, I just setup my network to use DHCP (my modem has a DHCP server) then logged into the html interface of the modem and entered the user information for the connection. Ofcourse if your modem does not provide DHCP you will need to use a static IP in the right range. The manual of your modem should tell you what this is. |

I actually got no manual with my modem because it was given to me by my ISP, and I am pretty sure it doesn't have DHCP.. my IP should be set dynamically by the servers of my ISP...
Now I followed the adsl-setup program and configured everything as it should be I think. But it seems that it doesn't even try to connect... if DEMAND is off it TIMES OUT and if it's set to a value adsl-start starts up without any errors but it does so even if my modem is disconnected 
So it's clear that it doesn't even connect...
I'm sure that it should work because a friend of mine running SuSe got it working... but he used YAST so it doesn't really help me much there... as far as I know he used the same configuration as me
I'm really starting to run out of ideas here...

I cant imagine that this is the case. I mean think of the load that it would put on those servers, not too mention all of the bandwidth that would be chewed up. + How would you request an address unless you had an Ethernet connection to your isp? Unless it was a dial up service, then RADIUS or similiar would dole you out an addy.

it is set dynamically
Every time I log on am assigned a new IP and it changes every 12 hours...
The pattern of the system depends on the ISP.. in my case I use ISDN+ADSL to connect. This shouldn't be necessary if the ISP would change some equipment but it's cheaper this way
Anyhow here is my ifconfig after adsl-start:
| Code: | lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:270 (270.0 b) TX bytes:270 (270.0 b)
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.112.112.112 P-t-P:10.112.112.113 Mask:255.255.255.255

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

eth1(it's connected to the modem) also get's brought up but I didn't list it here because I'm currently using it to connect to the Internet...
I use a blank configuration for eth1 when attempting to connect.

Ok I did some more tests...
I installed a RedHat distro on an extra disk and was able to set up my ADSL connection without a problem... I than copied the config from RedHat to ma Gentoo system and nothing is different... the connection times out
It worked great there... why doesn't it work here ?
I even downloaded a version of rp-pppoe from their homepage(sometimes ebuilds don't work as they should) and it's the same thing...
adsl-connect gives me this output:
Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument
This also worked great under RedHat
What could be different ?

If you need to use PPPoE (not all xDSL use it) then maybe you forgot to enable pppoe in your kernel.
Hope that helps... |

Then maybe your network card isn't set up in gentoo properly.
Try pinging stuff. If that doesn't do it then something else is wrong with your setup in gentoo. |

ok I finally got it working...
forgot to enable some things in the kernel
ppp_async
ppp_synctty
Ooops would be in order here I think...
Sorry for all your trouble...

I got a very similar problem, when i boot from the Gentoo CD
and try to configure the Internet (in order to install Gentoo) using adsl-setup I
also get TIMED OUT.
So I guess enabling
ppp_async
ppp_synctty
does not aplly to me (or is it?) cuz' it is the Gentoo's boot CD kernel. |

Maybe yout ethernet card is not recogniced by the kernel.
What does ifconfig show you?
Try using adsl-start in debugging mode!
Then please post the error you get! |

My network card is not recognized by the kernel but I do "modprobe via-rhine" and it does the truk.
what does th ifconfig show... wow that is a lot of copying to do... 
meanwhile here what is says without the debug mode
....................TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/adsl-start: line 194: 2514 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1
now I will try to run it in the debug mode as you say. |

Solved
When running adsl-setup I was suposted to enter "eth0" with a ZERO
but instead I was putting it "etho" with an "O"
It all fine now.
Thanks everyone |
