Hello, For the 1rst time, I've installed a Debian box that must connect directly to the net via DSL. I've an Alcatel Speedtouch modem connected to eth0, my local private network is on eth1 (this works without problems).
I've used pppoeconf and the connection has worked in a few seconds right out of the box. But after a reboot, the connection didn't work. I've re-done the configuration, all seemed right, but once again that was cancelled after a reboot. Finally, I've seen that eth0 becomes not "up" with the connection-process. If I manually do #ifconfig eth0 up without specifying an address, the connection works well (in fact, when you use pppoeconf, the interface was loaded during the configuration). Here's my /etc/network/interfaces: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 195.238.2.21 195.238.2.22 dns-search champignac iface skynet inet ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf provider skynet auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual ------- I've just replaced 'dsl-provider' by the name of my ISP (skynet), but the problem was the same with the original filename. Has someone encountered that problem ? I've done many searchs via Google with the message writed in the logs (sendPacket: send: Network is down) but found nothing appropriate.
