 Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2008 6:38 pm Post subject: PPPoE over wireless? [BSNL] |
 |
|
I am new to the world of PPP as I have never used this before. Just came home for the holidays and we have a BSNL dataone broadband service.
Now, what I have is a wireless connection to which I connect and then dial up a pppoe connection and surf the web.
To configure it on Windows I did this:
Connected to the wireless
Create a new connection -> Set up my connection manually -> Connect using a broadband connection that requires a username and password and so on with the details..
In Linux..
Connect to the wireless (that I could already see)
Then I used pppoe-setup (from rp-pppoe) to configure the pppoe thing.
I entered the username and password, chose wlan0 as the device, and no firewall.
However, when I run pppoe-start it times out and does not connect.
Can someone please help me with this!

| If your wireless router does PPPoE, it may be easier to use that instead. |

I might be mistaken, but I do not think that the wireless router is capable of PPPoE. However, all the documentation that I have found related to this issue is oriented around the binary adsl-setup, however I am unable to find this binary in my installation of rp-pppoe.
I do not know whether this would solve the issue or not, but in any case it would be nice to know how to get this binary in gentoo (or whether it has the same functionality as pppoe-setup.
Cheers
Rahul

Don't think adsl-setup is necessary. Check that you have ppp compiled in your kernel. Also follow the instruction in Gentoo Network Configuration section of the handbook. |

So, I used the roaring penguin gui (tkpppoe), made wlan0 the default interface and was able to connect to the internet. However, I am unable to use the internet. Firefox hangs at looking up ..... while ping google.com yields no result. Now, this could be a problem in DNS resolution or something like that but I am not sure. However, here is the output from ifconfig when roaring penguin told me that it was connected, maybe some one would be able to tell me as to what was wrong.

Do you have valid name servers in your /etc/resolve.conf? |
