Some aditional info:
BTW. If I do a ADSL-start the
connection times out. Evenen if I set the time out to 300 seconds it still
times out (In windows it is connecting within 5 seconds).
I checked the log and it said unable to establish a
connection ppp0 < --> /dec/pts/0
Regards,
Palito

server but my ADSL does not work).

Subject: [expert] ALCATEL ADSL-modem and
linux do not work (probably a french product, that explains it!!)
Hi,
I
have a "Alcatel speedtrhough home" ADSL modem which works pefectly
in
windows nut I have problems connecting it in Linux Mandrake 7.2. I
read
several howtos on internet but none of them worked.
This is my
network setup:
1 AMDK6-2 500Mhz
1 realtech ethernetcard (eth 0)
1
alcatel ADSL-modem
________________________________
I set up my
computer with a network adress in Linux (IP: 10.0.0.100,
netmask
255.0.0.0, No DNS configured)
My modems IP adress is
10.0.0.138 (this is the same as in windows).
In windows I don't have to
configure a DNS server so I did not do this under
linux, apparently the
modems sorts this out in windows and my ISP does not
give me details about
it.
In linux i can do a ping to my modem (10.0.0.138)
With netscape
I can browse to it to see the setup (just type 10.0.0.138) in
the
browser.
I can even telnet to the modem (although I can not execute
commands, I get a
prompt that I am connected to a alcatel modem version
3.2).
So far so good yoy would think. Well under windows the same
thing. I can
go to the modem etc. But in Windows I am able to
set up a connection. In
Linux my adsl-start command times
out.
I installed rp-pppoe and tried to set the modem up with
command adsl-setup.
I entered the following:
eth0
<my pppoe
username.
<Blank DNS> (just pressed enter).
<my pppoe
password>
So this is about it. I installed everything like the
HOWTO said. But it
does not work.
I cannot connect to the telecom
provider ( I need to connect to this first
before I can connect to the
ISP).
HELP!!!. I dont know what to do.
It looked very easy
in Mandrake to setup a ADSL connection but it does not
work. I hope
someone has a suggestion. (Btw I live in the Netherlands
and
have a mxstream connection from KPN-telecom, if someone has a same
conection
please email me for suggestions).
I setup the
(linux-computer) as: follows:
10.0.0.100 is my eth0 (ethernet
card)
10.0.0.138 is my gateway (same adress as ADSL modem).
No DNS
adress configured.
Hope someone can help me out. It's driving me
crazy (especially when it
work in windows and not in linux, I am not used
to
that).
