Title: DSL without PPPoE
Post by: Serge Magnin on October 03, 2001, 02:54:21 PM

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

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
