Hi everybody,
Somebody here with experiences with adsl-wanadoo-france-speedtouch?
I wanted to help a friend to migrate from WinXP to Linux. Installation of
openSUSE 10.2 on his Dell went without any difficulty, but I can't get
this !*%# speedtouch "modem" to connect to wanadoo ADSL...
The first problem is already that I don't understand, why a ADSL line needs
a "modem" and not a router or at least a ADSL Network Terminator. Well, with
XP it kind of works, so I guess wanadoo has a very special kind of ADSL?
So I went to
http://en.opensuse.org/Speedtouch_330
(and not to http://en.opensuse.org/Speedtouch_330_PPPoE because the above
looked shorter and easier :-) )
and went thru the steps described there. Finally I clicked KInternet to
connect. Here again I don't understand why I need KInternet, as I used this
last time some years ago with my analog modem... However, KInternet
recognized the "modem", tried to connect, and then the connection died with
the message "a modem hung up the phone (exit code 16)".
So this is all I achieved and after googling for hours now I am competely
confused.
I find different information and have no clue, which one I should follow,
like, for example, the said Suse-page says VPI/VCI Numbers are 8.67 while
http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/faq/index.html#q12 says it's 8.35.
AIUI, this information is specific to your ADSL supplier and their
equipment. You'll need to find Wanadoo France's technical configuration
page, either with google et al, or phone their tech support to find out
where it is (or get the information from them). Also have a look at the
bumph sent to you when you signed up for your ADSL connection.
