We just switched from Pacific to TPG, I assumed that they were using the
Telstra ADSL setup like Pacific were (we were on the Telstra Trial).
I was having all sorts of trouble and was about to set up a Win98
box. I asked them where I could download the drivers from, they
said just set up my NIC with the given specs, so I realised there
was no pppoe.
The info we got:
Configuration Option: Static IP: Modem in bridged mode
Customer IP: a.b.c.x
Gateway IP: a.b.c.y
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
relevant section of /etc/network/interfaces file:
iface eth1 inet static
network a.b.c.min(x,y)-1
gateway a.b.c.y.177
address a.b.c.x
broadcast a.b.c.max(x,y)+1
netmask 255.255.255.252
if he is changing from pppoe and doing ipmasq, you should remove the ppp
file in
/etc/ipmasq/ and change his startup scripts to run ipmasq.
The ppp file in /etc/ipmasq/ tells ipmasq to run when a ppp connection
is created. How that works I don't know.
