Hi All,
I have an AMD xp 2200 box.500mb ram,
2 cdrw/dvd drives,
2 hard drives (1 for windows 80G, 1 for linux 40G
hard drive enclosure usb, 20G
cable modem (surfboard sb5100i, connected usb)
gigabyte 4 port switch/hub? connected usb, networked to my sons computer,working with windows xp.
realtek ethernet card
I multi-boot winxp, mandrake 9.2, and untill about 2 weeks ago gentoo 1.4
Just recently signed up for telstra cable broadband and downloaded gentoo 2004 live cd + packages,
decided to install gentoo 2004 and scrapped 1.4, stupid I know, should have tried to update but I couldn't get my cable modem to
work.
Haven't been able to get gentoo working again since, but I will, I prefer it to anything else I've tried so far.
I'm still driving with L plates as far as Linux goes, and my networking skills are almost zero.
I would like to get my cable modem working at first in Mandrake, later for gentoo.
If someone in the group would be kind enough to give me some pointers it would be much appreciated,
My modem and ethernet card seem to be recognised on bootup, but I have no idea.....on almost everything......but specifically
how do I send my Telstra, username and password for instance, is there something like kppp,?
I have a settings sheet from Telstra with, static ip address 2 gateways and 2 dns numbers, but I don't know how to configure these.
I have googled around,....and just got more confused....... and played with linuxconf networking among other things,
but I'm really just floundering here.
Hope the formatting on this post is ok, I'm having to paste everything to open office, save as ms office doc, save to floppy, and paste to mozilla in windows,
so I guess anything could happen.
Sorry about the long post, I would have snipped dmesg, but I'm not sure what might be important.
Thanks, Brian Connell.
