DSL setup under Debian ETCH
Hi all, I have just installed Debian ETCH under GNOME mode (and NOT KDE). I have 256kbps DSL connection which works fine on same machine under XP. Now I want to be able to use it under ETCH. [XP is installed on 40GB(master) and ETCH is installed on 60GB(slave)] Can someone please guide me through the process. As a tip off, I am given IP address, default gateway, NO DNS, my home numer is my user name and a password. I would really appreciate if somebody can detailed explain to me. Thanks once again.

Is that a PPPoA or PPPoE connection? If you don't know what I'm talking about maybe you could describe what you did under Windows to make it work.

It also maybe useful to tell us what model of modem you have. And if you have ever configured an ethernet connection on Debian. Most of the configure is done in the /etc/network/interface file. 'man interfaces' would give you some help. Also, 'lspci' would help us to know what ethernet card you have. -K -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System| go to counter.li.org and | | `-http://www.debian.org/ |be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |___ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed ___| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I don't know much about your model since I have an Alcatel, but after a quick glance in google it seems yours is not much different. AFAICT those modems have integrated just about everything (firewall, NAT, DHCP server, ...), including a web interface for nice configuration. You just need to point my browser to its IP (factory default seems to be 192.168.1.1) and you should be able to configure everything, including username and password for the PPPoE connection. There is usually also a "bridge mode", where the modem just works as a bridge and I have to setup everything in my computer. I think the first option is simpler. Regards, Andrei P.S.
