RE: connecting to DSL
Run a `netstat -nr` and give us that output. Also the output from #ifdown eth0 #ifup eth0 The key should be in the errors (if any) that are there. It sounds like the gateway is not being added to the route table correctly: You could try # route add default gw 216.x.x.1 Checked for typos? If the gateway is listed as a different subnet, then the machine will have no idea where to send packets... Hope this helps. glen -Original Message- From: Kenneth Scharf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2000 2:08 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: connecting to DSL I (finally) seem to have a working connection via IDSL.

Re: connecting to DSL
Why dhcp? I have a STATIC IP address on my xdsl connection. I am NOT using dhcp on windows, and am sending this e mail out right now on windows. --- Marshal Kar-Cheung Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Kenneth" == Kenneth Scharf > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > I (finally) seem to have a working connection > via IDSL.

connecting to DSL
I (finally) seem to have a working connection via IDSL. It works fine under windows by just setting up the IP, Gateway, Netmask, and DNS entries under the tcp/ip pulldown under the networking configuration for my network card. IP 216.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway 216.xxx.xxx.1 broadcast 216.xxx.xxx.255 How do I do this under Potato? I changed the entries in /etc/networks/interfaces for my ethernet card to match the ip, gateway, and netmask that worked under windows, and the /etc/resolv.conf file I added the lines: nameserver 209.67.3.166 nameserver 209.185.207.135 which are the actual nameserver ip's I was given. I then restarted the computer and tried to ping my gateway address (that worked). I could not however ping my dns ip's (network unreachable), nor get to the debian site when I ran apt-get. Any ideas?
