All, I've just moved from Tokyo (where I had 8Mps cable modem, unlimited access running 2 ethernet NICs to drive my internet access and home network) to New Zealand. Here I've signed up for 128kps ADLS with 5G limited access and am having problems. The ADSL modem I have is a D-Link DSL-200 which research showed would work under Linux using eciadsl (http://eciadsl.flashtux.org). I've managed to get it working to the point where I can ping websites by name (e.g. www.yahoo.com) although the modem synchronization is sometimes a little dicey. The problems / questions:
- When I ping, I notice some packets are lost. Approximately 1 in 5. Doesn't sound good to me... - Although I can ping, I can't seem to be able to connect through a browser. I've searched the archives and found one suggestion that got me to the ping stage: removing the GATEWAY=a.b.c.d line in /etc/sysconfig/network. I guess I don't really understand what else is needed to get networking er, well... working (I thought I knew it with the two ethernet NICs!!!). Looking for hints etc. Particularly interested to hear from other Kiwis who have successfully got ADSL working here with the D-Link USB modem. Regards, Ron. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Send Flowers for Valentine's Day http://shopping.yahoo.com
