Topic: SME Server doesn't connect to internet

[David MONDON]

Hi.

I've just read several times the user guide and still have the same pb:

My SME Server v5.0 won't connect to internet

My NIC works fine when configured as local interface (DHCP,...) but when I configure it to connect to Internet via Wanadoo ADSL and ECI Ethernet modem (PPPOE), it's doesn't work The internet test fail.

The card is a DLINK DFE 530TX (detected by SME Server as a VIA Rhine nic)

When I reboot the server I have the following message: (when shutting down services)
the adsl connect script (PID628) appears to have died.

Does anybody know where to find a solution ? (my username/password is correct and I can connect using the same line/parameters with a Windows XP computer)

I'll uprade it to 5.1.2 tomorrow and try again. But it should be working already...

It seems that you have only one NIC.... You'll need to have 2 NICs (One for the local network, the other connected to your modem). It works fine for me (Wanadoo ADSL and Alcatel Speed Touch Home, PPPoE)

Yes, I have only one nic now.
Just because I wanted to test before...and also because I've got to buy another PCI card

I'll install the second nic at midday, and try again.

Does it prevent the SME Server to connect to internet not to have a nic dedicated to LAN ?

I've just installed a realtek 8139 based nic, installed v 5.1.2 and it works fine
