No, apparently our ADSL modem only does bridged mode. (When we applied, I ticked "routed" on the form, but the TPG tech rang us and said that the Alcatel Speedtouch Home modems used on the ADSL trial only did bridged mode) When we plug the ADSL modem into the phone and switch it on: 1) the power light comes on immediately 2) the the sync light flashes for a while 3) the sync light stops flashing This is our setup: Phone Jack | | ADSL Modem | | | eth1 - a.b.c.x Debian Box eth0 192.168.1.0/24 | | hub ||||| other boxes for debugging: tcpdump -i eth1 ping a.b.c.y ping 138.25.7.4 You also have to set your default route: route add default eth1 I'm not sure how to do that "the debian way" (anybody???) cheers, Woody > On Wed, 2003-02-26 at 14:59, Anthony Wood wrote: > > On Wed, 2003-02-26 at 14:49, Adam Hewitt wrote: > > > I have a friend who is tryign to configure ADSL under debian.
