Hi, Miernik is right. In 0.9.x-drivers the network device of the DVB-card isn't brought up automatically but has to be established "by hand" using either dvbtune (which I think is the preferred way) or some other "network activator"-program. Use dvbtune to adjust your card to the frequency of your provider and then use the "-n" switch with the desired pid as parameter. Just call dvbtune by itself for a list of possible tuning parms. After that, you'll see a device called dvb0_0 which you can configure with ifconfig. Simply add an IP-Address of the private range (doesn't matter which but should not conflict with your other network devices) and assign it the MAC-Address you either got from your provider or is stated on your card (AFAIK there is no way to determine the MAC of a DVB-card under Linux by command as e.g. winipcfg does under Windows). After that, you should have a fully functional network-device dvb0_0. Try "tcpdump -ni dvb0_0" and see, if you can receive IP-packets. If so, you're almost done. The final step then is to connect to your provider via phone. You mentioned, that the connection is not via proxy but using the MAC-address. So I suppose, they are using a VPN-connection. Is that correct? If so, you have to install the pptp-client software which can be found at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net and do some tricks to your routing table. It's a bit lengthy to describe, what steps you have to take, so please first make shure, that your dvb-network-device is working and your provider does really use VPN to connect. I'll be glad to help you with the next steps after that. -- Best regards Wolfgang Wershofen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
