that caused 5 seconds of grief ;) rebecca (insert name here) claims on her lil page that she needed to drop the MTU in her internal network. i havent had this problem and nor has my friend who also runs dsl via linux (a good use for a sparc classic). i believe a gateway (firewall) does the job of converting MTU between interfaces. the tech who set up dsl was only too happy to just install the router, hand over the usb nic (you know you wana play with one) and leave. I wasnt letting him near my parents windoze pc! personally, i plug my router straight into my switch. All my pcs are then connected to the switch and behave in a normal tcpip network kind of way. my pc then connects to the pppoe service through its single NIC and still remains on the normal tcpip network. I can then use iptables or chains or whatever floats my boat at the time, to let others through onto the net. If my pc is off, my parents need only turn on the switch and use the bigpond windoze client and connect normally, whilst still maintaining access to other machines and services on the network. the smc usb nic works quite nicely in linux. after i plugged it in and observed it working i promptly got over the novelty and put it aside for my trusty netgear 10/100 nic ;) gadgets are cool though ;) Dean Steven Kerr wrote: > Good morning all. > > Is there a 'Telstra BigPondDirect - ADSL' Linux Howto type document > that will ease me into this wonderful service offering of Telstra ? > > Steve Kerr > > > __________________________________________________________________ > Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au > > > -- -- -- ME: http://dean.bong.com.au ICQ: 16867613 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
