Re: PPPoE instead of PPTP on Bezeq ADSL - howto

Re: The ADSL howto with the ip masqurade instructions
Hello, A few notes about the ADSL masquerading section: Dani Arbel wrote: Although option b looks strange at the begining, with security problem, this is not the case: The internet is connected through a ppp interface in your Linux box, and the ethernet segment on ip network 10.0.0.0 ends at your adsl's ethernet port. There is some added risk in option B. If the ADSL modem is on a hub with the rest of your LAN then it can hear all your LAN traffic. Thus if it is compromised then you lose all privacy on your LAN. In addition, any local firewall or authentication method that filter according to network interface will be circumvented. The ADSL modem runs some pretty complex software on a general-purpose CPU, and is also rumored to have a remote-update facility, so this threat is serious. If any sensitive data moves across your LAN, and unless all machines on the LAN are secure (rather than relying on a firewall), then consider buying a cheap 10BaseT NIC and dedicating it to the ADSL modem. Now run the ipchains rules that enable the ip masqurading. Something like this (again, refer to the ip masqurade howto for complete description): These instructions do not apply to kernel 2.4. The HOWOT is not yet updated and some proxies are apparently not yet implemented, so I recommend sticking to 2.2 on the masquerading box. # Enable simple IP forwarding and Masquerading Win2k is similar (find the correct instance of ethernet card by the ip number), but you have to add a dword object . There are a few more differences in Win2K. The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\interface and the value is "MTU" of type DWORD, instead of "MaxMTU" of type String.

Updated adsl HOWTO
Hi! Here is the updated adsl HOWTO. Sory, but we still are having problems with the new Orkit model. Dani -- Attached file included as plaintext by Listar -- -- File: HOWTO-ADSL-BEZEQ HOWTO-ADSL-BEZEQ Originally written by Dr. Daniel Arbel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Additions and clarifications by mulix [EMAIL PROTECTED] The most recent version of this document can be found at http://www.pointer.co.il/~mulix/adsl-howto.txt ver 1.0 Aug 2000 ver 1.0.1 Sep 2000 - corrections for pap authentication and stopping sessions. ver 1.0.2 Jan 2001 - changes after the beginning of commercial service. Ver 1.1 Jan 2001 - additions and clarifications by mulix added "note about different ADSL modems" added "where to get more help" (mulix) Ver 1.1.1 Jan 2001 - added note about pppd patch (mulix) Ver 1.1.2 Jan 2001 - note on how to get the modem version string (mulix) Ver 1.1.3 Jan 2001 - added note on modem names (ATUR2 and ATUR3) (mulix) ver 1.1.4 Feb 2001 - addes info about Alcatel modems, a patch to pptp to support Alcatel ISDN ADSL modem. DISCLAIMER: The info in this doc is based mostly on our own experiences. Use it at your own risk, and if you find any omissions or mistakes, please don't hesitate to let us know. A NOTE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ADSL MODEMS - read first! Orkit modems There are at least three different Orckit ADSL modems. You can differentiate between them by examining the version string the modem gives. So far, we know of the following modems: The modem known by bezeq technical support as "ATUR2": "Modem version 5.00.0.3 Orckit Release 2.0 , Version 4 (16:00 June 1 1999)" and the modem known (by us) as "ATUR3": "Orckit ATUR3 version: Adsl 4.0.0.34, Data 4.9 (ATM), Based on Virata 6.3.0.9-full release (Jun 27 2000)" To find out your modem version string, simply telnet to the modem 'telnet 10.0.0.138'. The password is 'password'. Once you are logged in to the modem, type 'version'. It appears that modems of the SECOND kind do NOT work with linux. Try to have Bezeq replace this version with "ATUR2". If you try to connect with "ATUR3", you will probably get the error "Error Making Call" from pptp. The patched pptp allows you to create the VPN tunnel with the modem, but we have not been able to connect successfully with it yet. The only absolute solution we found so far, is to ask Bezeq replace your modem to the first kind. A quick check which modem you have is that the first modem has two RJ-45 (data) connectors on the back, and the second kind has only one. Examining windows and linux pppd session negotiations shows that there are some different options. It is possible that patching pppd to emulate the windows ppp software (send the exact same options) will allow us to use the second modem with linux as well, but no one has done this patch to pppd yet. Alcatel modems There are four Alcatel modem tppes: one for ISDN lines, two ethernet modems for analog lines, and one USB modem. The USB model was not tested with Linux yet. All three ethernet modems work with Linux. INTRODUCTION This introduction describes the mechanism and specifics of the windows installation of the ADSL service. Bezeq do not officially support linux (although it is rumored that they might, in the yet-to-be-determined future) and therefore can provide no clue about how to connect a Linux box. Digging in Bezeq installation and reading this introduction will help you make the conclusions needed when connecting your Linux box. We describe here the details of the Orckit equipment. If you have ALcatel gear and it looks a bit different, try to use intuition... (I did not have the privilege to use Alcatel ADSL ..). 1) The communication between the ADSL unit and the computer is done by ethernet NIC (a regular network card. Bezeq will supply one to you, for an additional charge, or you can buy and install it yourself. Installing a network card is not covered by this ADSL-HOWTO, but is covered extensively elsewhere. TODO: add pointer to installing a NIC documentation) and it uses the following setup: network 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 host: 10.200.1.1 adsl: 10.0.0.138 no dns, no domain , no gateway.

You guys mightwant to bug Orckit to fix the firmware on their lousy
modems, too. There's nothing wrong with the LCP options that pppd sends,
except that the Orckit modem might not understand 'asyncmap' (hey,
it's not on RFC1661, but nobody bothered either reading the IETF pppext
drafts or implementing standard unknown option rejection). I have
parsed this information from the captures (Windows vs. Linux) that mulix
sent me:
The options in the first LCP (id 0) packet sent by a Windows dialer
(ordered as they appear in the packet):
- Magic-Number (32-bit number)
- Protocol-Field-Compression on
- Address-and-Control-Field-Compression on
- Callback value 6 (meaning CBCP will determine callback)
- Multilink-MRRU (Max-Recieved-Reconstructed-Unit), value 0x064e (1614)
- Multilink-Endpoint-Descriminator (with a class 1 [locally
assigned] address 22 bytes long)
The linux pppd first LCP (id 1, unlike Windows' id 0):
(the lousy Orckit modem never replies to this LCP message)
- Asyncmap 0x
- Magic-Number (32-bit number)
- Protocol-Field-Compression on
- Address-and-Control-Field-Compression on
If I had to fix this, I'd first set the id of the first LCP packet pppd
sends to zero. This is exactly the kind of stupid bugs people would make
and never test for, and it takes about 2 seconds to rig pppd to use 0
(ie change line 708 in fsm.c from "f-reqid = ++f-id" to "f-reqid =
f-id++" or something like that)
If this fails, I'd get rid of the asyncmap as well ('pppd -am' should do
this). And if -that- failed, I'd add multilink, and finally, callback.
It seems odd to me that nobody fixed the pppd yet. I don't have ADSL,
but a good friend of mine does, and obviously not a few people on this
list. Surely there must be some protocolguru with interest of fixing
this.. reverting to Windows is not an option.

A tidbit of info: according to Bezeq's ADSL support (1-800-340340), the Orkit modem with two RJ45 jacks is called "ATUR2". On the other hand, the problematic single-jack version has "ATUR3" in its version string (but Bezeq's support didn't have any special name for it). So, ignoring the existence of a third type of Orckit modems, the current state of the art is: ATUR2 works with Linux, ATUR3 doesn't.

INTRODUCTION
The introduction describes the mechanism of windows installation. The
reason is that Bezeq technicians have NO idea about any other environment
and can provide no clue about how to connect a Linux box. They will not
describe the details of the connection in technical language because of
lack of knowledge. Diging in Bezeq installation and reading this
introduction will help you make the conclusions needed when connecting
your Linux box.
I describe here the details of Orkit equipment. If you have ALcatel gear
and it looks a bit different, try to use intuition... (I did not have the
privelage to use Alcatel ADSL ..).
1) The communication between the ADSL unit and the comp. is done by
ethernet NIC and it uses the following setup:
network 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 host: 10.200.1.1 adsl: 10.0.0.138
no dns, no domain , no gateway.
( i did not try to move the host to 10.0.0.x and encrease the mask).
2) bezeq will install a peace of (junk?) s/w that connects automatically to
their ADSL portal and activating your browser to show the main page. from
there you can surf to the service selection and connect to your ISP. This
is the front end hiding the things that actually take place:
3) connection is done by dialing (yes, dial up just like with a
modem) using the private network mechanism. the equivivalent dial setup is
as follows:
1) install ms private network adapter (this is done when Bezeq install ADSL
in your pc).
2) go to dial up networking and start the wizard to create a new
connection
3) for this connection, use Microsoft VPN adapter
4) host name is 10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1
5) once the connection icon is created, go to its properties and disable
netbeui, ipx etc (not so important)
6) start the connection. the username is your userid@ISP (for guest
access this will be guest@OXx where X is your
chosen ISP with its first character in upercase (i.e. Actcom ) the letter
after the '@' is NOT zero . Note that guest access is not free of charge,
and in fact VERY expensive.
7) IF you receive a connection and are able to use it, you may go on to
Linux installation. If not, try to search in the registry (search for wow
) weather some details have been changes by Bezeq (most likely to change
are the username and ISP strings).

2.2.17 the version is 2.3.11).
the equivivalent of Microsoft VPN adapter is just the pptp .. get it
http://cag.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/PPTP/
the current version is 1.02
since pptp does not receive all the options as a command line parameter,
you have to enter the RELAY_PPP1 (see the introduction) into the source
file (is anyone out there willing to enhance this pptp s/w ?) :
change line 212 in pptp_ctrl.c to:
hton16(PPTP_WINDOW), 0, 0, 0, {"RELAY_PPP1"}, {0}
compile. Read the pptp docs to see that you have pppd in the proper place.
The authentication method is forced by the server. In order to cover both
options (pap and chap) create 2 identical files:
edit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets to include proper
lines like:
"username@ISP "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" "your password
In case you are not a registered user of any of the ISP you may select one
of the guest access (which is VERY expensive!):
"guest@OActcom" "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" "Bezeq"
and finaly, start a call:
pptp 10.0.0.138 debug user xxx@ISP remotename "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" defaultroute
netmask 255.0.0.0 mtu 1452 noauth
If everything goes well you should be connected, and your networking will
look something like that:
# netstat -r -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
10.200.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 eth0
213.8.120.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 ppp0
10.0.0.00.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U
Re: ADSL HOWTO?
Hi, It was posted here, so the best thing I can offer you is to search through the archives. There was one error that was corrected a little later on. You need to use PAP instead of CHAP.
