i am using a dial up modem connection. so i dont think dhcp will work for me.
i got no hardware router.
i typed adsl-setup and configured everything the same way i did when using the live cd.
then i use adsl-start
but it doesnt connect and times out.

maybe do i have to reinstall rp-pppoe or sth like that?
Maybe i made a fault. what do i have to do just to be sure?
i mean i could handle the situation as if i didnt do anything to configure adsl and now want to use it ... so what do i have to install - to do.

also when i start the system and the pp0 adapter (i think thats how hes called ) gets plugged there comes some nonesense in the next line "AZT"
dunno what it means. ahh i am confused sorry ^_^

i am having a similar problem, in the new environment i dont have internet access, i do using the livecd.. my modem is adsl but i dont need to enter a password, it is always on, with a switch behind to close the connection when i want.

is it a /etc/resolv.conf issue?

i have this in there

nameserver 192.168.81.2
search localdomain
