Hi all:
I'm having problems configuring my ADSL connection w/Debian. I have a
Lynksys BEFW11S4 V.2 Etherfast Router that connects to the internet via my
Efficient Network's 5360 Speedstream Modem. I use a Lynksys 10/100
Etherfast Card. Here's the rundown.
On a previous install of Debian, I was unable to get X to start, though I
had a fully functional internet connection that I used to d/l Debian.
Decided to reinstall - this time, got X to run, but, ironically, my internet
is down. Damn, are computer's fickle? LOL.
I installed the 'ppp' module into my kernel like I normally do in the Debian
install. No joy. Tried removing that module. No joy. Added just
'ppp_deflate'. Nope. Tried 'ppp' and 'ppp_deflate' together. Nada.
I ran 'pppoeconfig' (or is it just 'pppconfig'? it's the 'ADSL/PPPOE'
Configurator in the Debian Menu) - it won't run on the initial try, and
prompts me to run 'modconf'. After selecting and removing/installing one of
the modules (apparently, it just wants a change, and it doesn't care what),
'modconf' dumps me back into 'pppoeconfig' - which tells me that it now
detects my Ethernet Card, and then tries to auto-config everything. That's
when it tells me no - it can't detect the setup from the 'provider' - I'm
assuming that's the router. It also says that its possible that other
processes are using the interface 'eth0' - my ethernet card.
That's it.
Next is my soundcard - a Soundblaster 128PCI - aka: ES1371. Everytime I
start up KDE, it brings up a dialogue box that I used to get with Mandrake -
'do not have permissions to device '/dev/dsp''. I tried changing the
permissions on it, but it didn't work. I never did fix the problem - just
installed SuSE on top of it. LOL - I'm lazy. But, I like Debian too much
to just quit at it. That's why I'm asking you guys. Any ideas for either
of these two problems? Thanks a lot.
Regaurds,
Kris Kerwin
