Eric, thanks for being so polite and all. Let me give you some more information on my setup. The Bering Firewall I'm trying to setup is going to be connected between my lan and dsl modem. I'm currently running a WinXP box there with Internet Connection Sharing(ICS). I'm hoping that I can replace windows with linux completely. I have an external ethernet dsl modem that has an auto-detecting dhcp server and dns. I set them to auto so that they can figure out whether or not they need to work (if you think it wise, I can disable them). Just so you know, I'm a newbie to linux, but I'm a computer engineer, so don't worry about talking over my head.
What I do know....my setup:
INTERNAL SYSTEMS<==>LAN<==>FIREWALL/BERING<==>DSL MODEM<==>INTERNET
eth0 is definitely connected to the modem, and ?trying? to talk to the modem. The modem has an IP of 192.168.7.1. The internal nic, eth1, is able to connect to internal boxes. It's ip is 192.168.0.1. I know it works because I can ssh to that IP from an internal machine. I don't believe that udhcpd(as opposed to the standard daemon because it's so much larger in size) is working properly for me, however I've statically assigned other boxes temporarily so it doesn't have to work right now and that shouldn't affect getting this to work.
I'm attaching the output you requested, along with my syslinux.cfg, because I'm not sure if udhcpd should be called before or after pump and ppp/pppoe.
Other questions I'm having with my Bering-uClibc firewall disk:
syslinux.cfg exert: "LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables,udhcpd,pump,ppp,pppoe,ezipupd,lshd,shorwall,daemontl,ulogd,dnscache,weblet" 1) In syslinux.cfg, should udhcpd come after pump and ppp?
2) Does my setup require pump, and if not, how might I go away getting rid of it. I tried just not loading it, but then my nic's didn't get detected properly or something.
3) I have a user account, and when I attempt "su -" I receive a "su: no valid shadow password" response. Is this a problem with the root or user password I'm using? Does anyone have a good idea of how to fix that?
I appreciate anybody's comments on my problems.

might like to know.
options,
The number of selection for the /etc/modules files depends on how much and
in which order it is loaded.
1, Your question about the mailing list:
there is a mailnig list for support
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but before posting your question there please read how to ask for help:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1891&group_id=13751
2. I will try to help you figure out why you cannot connect. please check the following modules and ethernet cards correctly identified #ip link show this should show you a eth0 and a eth1.
3. You can ping from your internal network to the router ( no switch of the
cables ) ? eth0 is in reality eth1 and vv.
ip link show eth0 should show you eth0 but not in the upstatus.
4. you didn't change the configuration and used the modem with this computer
before ?
The reason I ask is that dependant of the model of your dsl-modem you have
to use straight or crossover cables.
If you change the setup from computer -->Hub --> modem to
computer -->hub---eth1 Router eth0 ---> modem, you might have to use another
cable.
don't ask me for details on the different modems, I don't know
Now for the software part.
There are two stages at connecting
first your router sends a broadcast over ppp0 with a request which Access
concentrator is available.
As soon as it receives the offers, it chooses one LCP
And then the authentication will start and finally the same situation as
with any other ppp exist.
Logfiles :
add to the pppoe configuration file the line debug 7
Now you will find lots of lines in the /var/log/debug
Probably also in /var/log/syslog lines describeing the login procedure.
Don't forget to remove or comment the line if everything functions. your
logs will grow rather fast.
Feel free to mail me , if you did try those things out.

If you have time or care, or whatever, since I am bugging you...I've set up >PPPoE on eth0. Well it's ppp0 that translates to eth0.

Oh well, I've taken more than my fair of your disk space with this email.
I'd appreciate any answers you can provide me.
Sincerely,
