Topic: Changing the network interface

[smer]

When I installed smeserver, I selected one of the NICs (eth0) as the source for internet. Now, I would like to use an ADSL (ppp0) instead. How can I change it?

Login as admin and reconfigure your server.

Thanks for reply. But, how can I do that. I logged in as root and typed
reconfigure
it told me command not found.

Login as "admin" user, and you can access the reconfiguration menu.

Please, please, please read what I write as I (and probably all others replying to you as well) try too help you. If I write login as admin I do not mean log in as root.

Perhaps it is worth reading the manual again as this account should be mentioned there as well.

Thanks. You are right. I thought you meant root not admin. Now, I am ok. FYI, I read the documentation and could not see where it referes to recofeguring the server.

OK, thanks I added a bug for that: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3721

Thanks for quick reply.

I tried to configure smeserver to use speedtouch dsl modem interface (nas0) or ppp0 as a source of internet, but they are not listed in the list of pre-determind ports. I know that the firewall needs this info to let data to flow in & out of the server. Should I report this as a bug also?

What do you mean by listed ports and pre-determined ports? Where did you see such a list? If you have been able to setup your speedtouch dsl modem as the second interface everything should be fine.

I logged in as admin >> selected item 2 "Configure this server" >>>>>>> "Select external access mode" shows 2 options:
1- Dedicated
2- Dailup
If I select the 1st option it will show ethernet cards and ethernet drivers only which do not apply in my case. If I select 2nd opton. it will show the list of pre-determind ports that I mentioned above.

What kind of SpeedTouch DSL modem is this (modelnumber)? Is it an external or internal interface?

No support for USB Modems, unless recent add.

Nope, it still has not... and I wonder if it will ever be incorporated.
