Topic: DSL without PPPoE

[Serge Magnin]

Hello everyone,

I've just installed e-smith 4.1.2, and I'm almost happy with it. The only trouble I have is about connecting to the internet. My ISP provided me with a Alcatel T1000 ADSL modem (with an ethernet port), which does not seem to support PPPoE. When I use it under Windows, it says it uses PPTP and VPN to establish a connection.

The e-smith menu for dedicated connections doesn't refer to PPTP nor VPN. Is this considered to be the default ? Then how do I set up the IP address for my eth card, and where do I type my login/password ? I know how to build a connection with this modem under other linux distro, but if I do the same with e-smith, how will it route my client connections to this dsl connection ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Serge

I had one running under 4.12, and 4.11 at my last job. It worked fine. the problems I ran into when setting it up were password oriented. they never gave me the correct password and it took me a while to figure it out. It did however install fine. All I can say is check your wiring, and UN & PW and you should be good to go. it is by far not as complicated as setting it up in windows. You might also want to double-check the rest of your configuration settings. Hope it helps, but just keep it simple and it should work.

FWIW,

Steve

you will need to install adsl4linux.
this package makes a connection with pptp and vpn
on the dutch e-smith site is an complete howto, but only in dutch, if interested I will make a translation into english

Salut,
Pour le A1000, je te recommande vivement de le passer en PPPoE (si, si, c'est possible !)
Pour ça, tu configures un carte réseau en 10.0.0.10/255.0.0.0 et tu vas sur http://10.0.0.138

Ensuite, suivre la procédure suivante :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avec le 1000 il faut vérifier qu'il y a bien à l'origine PPTP 8 67 IDDLE,
ensuite supprimer tous les liens bridge, enfin ajouter le lien LLCSNAP 8 67.
Ne pas oublier bien sûr de faire à chaque fois Apply et Save. il faut
noter que passer les modems 1000 ou STH en PPPoE ne modifie pas la ligne
qui elle reste en 8/67. alors que si c'est FT qui fait la manip la ligne
passe en 8/35.
