RE: [newbie] Mandrake and DSL

well, when I was on US West, the cisco 675 was a bridge, not a router, so it has no IP of it's own.  you need to set the computer to DHCP.  I dunno how to do that in Linux except at install, but I'm 99% sure if you are assigning a IP to a us west dsl bridge it's wrong.  How is your win box setup?  Betcha 100 bucks "obtain IP address from server" is checked

Aaron do you mean all I need to do is change the eth0 interface to a DHCP protocol ? Or is there more to setting up DHCP than that. The information I have listed below regarding the Cisco is right out of the USWest book and does get the Router logged in.

 

I just need to make the Linux box talk to the router.

 

Thanks for the response.

You've answered your own question, you don't have an IP so why are you setting one?  You need to set up DHCP

Can some one give me the information (step by step) to get my Linux machine hooked up to my DSL line. I am lost and have tried everything. Either it is a very complicated process or I have missed something obvious.

 

My current setup is:

 

Mandrake 6.0 with two ethernet cards

 

eth1

IP address is 192.168.1.2

Subnet  is 255.255.255.128

 

eth0

IP address is 192.168.1.1

Subnet  is 255.255.255.0

 

I have a Cisco 675 external router. Basically all I can tell you is it is running in PPP mode, has NAT and DHCP server enabled and ipcp has been set to 0.0.0.0 and DNS has been set to 0.0.0.0. It works when I plug it into a Windows machine !!

 

I am using USWest DSL and ISP service. I DO NOT have a static IP address.

 

Beyond the above address's which I have entered using the "netcfg" what else do I need to set up ? Is there anything that needs to be configured under the routing tab.

 

Eventually (like tommorrow.. hehe) I want to go back to IP masquerading as I have done in the past with a dial up connection. .. I guess I need to get the Linux machine to talk to the internet on its own first.

 

Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.

 

Regards,

Rich
