Hi everyone, I really hope someone can give me the answer to this. I'm having trouble with my connection, it's a wireless one using pppoe (pppoe from deb). And although my provider said they supported linux the only help i got from them was to check my wires. :(
The problem i'm having comes up when I'm negotiating the connection, the most important line that i found in the syslog is this: endor pppd[169]: Could not determine remote IP address: defaulti ng to 10.64.64.64 Well leaving that out the connection is kind of fine, i can ping, connect to ICQ servers, but the problem comes up when i try to do for example http://www.google.com In links i'd see something like this: Recieved 0B of 2.3 kB, avg 0B/s Same thing for ftp, I can (don't know why) ftp anywhere do a cd, ls but when i try to get something it just stays there. Another important file I've just remembered of is ppp-connect-errors and it says this all the time: pppoe: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Input/output error Ok, last but not least i'd have to say that in spite of my lack of connection my friend (running a win) connects with no problem. I haven't changed any config files or others, I'm running sid (kernel 2.4.9 but I don't think it matters because I've tried others). What really bothers me is that we had to set up a proxy on that win machine as a workaround and I get disconnections every now and then ( I wonder who knows why :-D ) Sorry about the long mail! And if an answerful person decides two answer, could you please CC me here (I'm not subscribed to the list with this account) Thanks In Advance!!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your FREE FlashMail Address now at http://www.flashmail.com It's Free, Easy, & Fun !!!
