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.
Hi Russel,
yes, this is what I thought, too. But the "technical service"-line-"helper"
said, he is "not educated for Linux", only knows where to click in Windows (I
guess, with "where to click" he ment the mouse button). What ever I asked
him: "I don't know", he doesn't know what VPI/VCI is, he couldn't even tell
me the IPs of their name servers ("in Windows everything is automatic, you
don't have to know anything"). Haha, I agree: this *is* indeed one of the
most important requirement to use Windows.
The "documentation" received with the "modem" also just includes a booklet
with all the nice little but useless images from windows and some from Mac.
But no data... And the website... have you ever looked at it? Don't do :-)
So, if anybody has an idea how I can go on, how to find out what is necessary
to find out... I am greatful for any hints.
regards
Daniel
Hello,
I'm french and my provider is Wanadoo (now Orange). I was able to use a
speedtouch
USB modem with SuSE 9.X, but never with 10.x so I had to buy an adsl
modem router.
You need a modem because French ADSL uses ppp over atm and not ppp over
ethernet.
If you want to try to install a speedtouch anyway, there are two
methods and documentations.
The first one is in the SuSE archives, it needs to download a driver
from Thomsom, you can find the second
one while searching "Benoit Papillault" + "speedtouch" with google. I am
out of home up to next sunday, if
you don't find, tell me I've the docs and links at home.
Regards.
Michel.
