Hi Michel,
thanks for your answer! I have been on the site of Benoit Papillault (that now
leads to http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/ ) but the information there says:
"Si vous utilisez un noyau linux >= 2.6.10, vous devez utiliser le module
noyau à la place. Allez voir à http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch\ /. Dans
ce cas, vous n'avez absolument pas besoin de ce logiciel."
My french is very very poor, but as much as I understand this software is not
necessary with 10.2 anymore. However I installed the "firmware" as told on
the SUSE Howto page, just with no success so far...
I never succeed with SuSE and speedtouch, I think that it is better to
forget this
modem with Linux.
I too think it would be better to have a router attached to the ethernet.
Can you tell me which router you use? On the orange.fr site I only found
the "Web Modem Routeur eXtense Pro" - do you know this one?
If your friend wants to have TV and Telephone over IP from this
provider, it is
necessary to use their modem called "Livebox"
Must the router be kind of special for wanadoo or could I also use a
common "cheap" one I buy here in Switzerland (like a Zyxel 650 or the like)?
I don't know about this router, I use the Netgear DG834 - the DG834G is
wireless -,
all the connection stuff is made by the router, in France you can find
it for about 57€,
http://www.lcdi.fr/index.php?activate=affichage_produit&id_produit=1080
and as you say, no need for software, drivers ... It supports Dyndns
update for dynamic IP
so that you are able to have a FTP or WEB server on your computer.
Can this router then be used "normally"? (i.e. all "connection stuff" to the
internet is done by the router itself, configured by its own [browser-]
interface, and the connection to the Computer is just a common ethernet
connection)? Or ist there also need for special
software/drivers/firmware/...?
Do you now use PPPoE with the router?
No, anyway you have to use PPPoA
Sorry for many questions... thanks for your help!
No problem, don't hesitate to ask more questions.
Regards.
Michel
