Hey gang,
We discussed this some in the recent past, but they are switching my
service over today, so I have some questions.
I'm using a Telocity (now DirecTV, soon to be nobody) ADSL "modem",
and have opted to try to make it work with their system, rather than
spending the $26 to get their modem shipped to me (what can I say,
I'm cheap)...
I've already downloaded roaring penguin, & it is ready for
installation.
1) I have a static IP, but do not know what it is.
2) I am currently configured for DHCP ethx configuration
1st question - has anyone else made this swithc? What I'm getting
at is this -"did Telocity/DirecTV use PPPoE & their modem handled it,
so I should just need to reset the modem & maybe it will work?"
2nd question - if the 1st quenstions' answer is "no," what are the
steps I need to do to setup roaring penguin - yes, I know, RTFM, but
I'm looking for some insight, here....
I think the big problem I have is going to be setting up my IP
address when I don't even know it. I understand that the modem that
Earthlink would ship me handles the PPPoE conversion itself & uses
DHCP for my machines connection to it - Is this true? - THey call
their modem a Bridged Ethernet ADSL Modem (I think it's a two-wire
job).
3rd question - what changes do I need to make to my startup scripts
(esp. for my ethernet *e.g. ifup, etc.*), to get the whole mess to
work?
Thanks,
Tom
