[expert] ADSL Itex driver for Mandrake 9.0?
I don't know weather this is a newbie or expert question, so I send it to both lists. I have installed Mandrake 9.0 in a partition of my PC. Everything went OK, but not for my ADSL Itex PCI card: Mandrake didn't recongnize it and I have a Linux PC which cannot connect to the Internet. I have searched the Web, found some drivers but none worked; the last is a itex1577-2.4.16.o driver; I installed it, but when I try to activate it with the insmod commad, the computer crashes, even the mouse is frozen and I have to restart. Maybe it is a problem of kernel; this driver is for kernel 2.4.16, while Mandrake 9.0 has 2.4.19. Does anyone know a working driver for this unfortunate ADSL card? Obviously I mean a driver which works with Mandrake 9.0 and kernel 2.4.19.

Yikes!
It sounds like the South African telco either has more customers than
facilities or someone, somewhere, decided that it's much better to waste
switch and adsl processing time checking to see how long you've been there.
Which surprises me cause it's a waste of resources and can do nasty things to
the switching.
Not to put too fine a point on it, it also seems that someone needs to learn
to splice a cable. That sort of thing, even when we were a monopoly, would
have landed someone in serious trouble.
I understand your problem now. Short of shooting the "people" in charge of
your upgrade and wondering why anyone would waste switching resources, I
think you need to keep doing what you're doing.

First of all you need to understand how adsl, and indeed all dynamic IP works. You are assigned an IP when you first connect to the server. Not log on, not do anything except connect. For the duration of the connection your IP doesn't change. So, if you don't turn off your computer/router combination the IP should never change. If you do the chances are you will get the same IP back again, though there's no guarantee of that. At no time during a connection will the IP ever change. It's theorectially possible, of course, but in all my years of supporting and installing adsl I have yet to see it. And the reason is fairly simple. To assign everyone a new IP the dynamic IP server would have to take down your connection and initiate another "handshake", then pass on the new IP, then, just to make sure it's you, ask for your password again. As a simple matter of customer relations telco's don't do this. Indeed, the telco will reserve the IP you already have for a period of up to 96 hours so that it can deal with such things as power failures either at the Central Office or in your area. You have to be shut down for quite some time before you'll get a new IP, as a rule. Running a cron job, as long as your connection stays up, is, then, a waste of time. If you want to check it do it immediately after bringing up the connection using ifconfig eth0/eth1 or whatever. BTW, restarting your network appears to have no affect..your IP will, 99.% of the time be correct. (Incidentially, this is how my home network works as well.) That said, I'm a bit unclear about what you're saying with respect to your web site. If you're hosting a web site on a dynamically allocated IP address you're asking, no begging, for trouble.

If anyone has pointers, please share. If your ADSL modem is hooked to eth0, and you get your IP address via DHCP, then you can place a script in the /etc/dhcpc/ directory with the name "dhcpcd-eth0.exe" (don't forget to make it executable!) and it will run every time the dhcpcd daemon determines that your IP address on that interface has changed. I use it to run a lynx command that hits a page on the ZoneEdit.com site, which determines the IP address that the hit came from, and updates my DNS entries there accordingly. The script then goes on to send me an e-mail notification of the change, including the output of "ifconfig eth0". -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 The engineer is neither optimist nor pessimist.

[expert] ADSL connection
Hi guys, Just a quick one... my home server has an ADSL connection using PPPOE.. it usually takes ages to actually get going, but once going it is fine.. Anyway, the problem is, that occasionally the connection is reset by peer and it again takes ages to restart the connection. I use this box to monitor the availability of our other servers.. so if one goes down, the perl monitor script I knocked up plays a wav file at 100db, and then sends me and the other admin an email. It all works fine until the adsl plays up.. now the questions I have are these: 1. How can I get pppoe to log somewhere other then syslog. (pref a pppoe log.) 2. How can I get a more verbose description of why the connection is taking so long to happen. (ie is there any way to actually see the handshaking and whatnot actually happening like you can in normal ppp???) 3. my ADSL ISP supports a dialup line for times when the ADSL is down, is there a way to set it up so that the dialup happens automatically if the adsl dies? and then swaps back at a later time? Any help would be really great, if the last one has no answer in linux, I guess its time to get creative with perl and write one. I couldnt' see anything in the pppoe.conf file about logging or verbose logging... any ideas? regards Franki Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] adsl router, which one to buy?
I swear by the linksys BEFSR41. FYI a router should be not be platform dependent at all. Anyway it's a great router. You access it through any web browser. It also handles pppoe if your dsl provider requires it. So i'd say, keep your existing adsl modem and get the router as an addon. It also makes home networking a breeze. You're right on in one respect: ADSL is being used from the dsl modem to the DSLAM (at the provider's access point; usually a local telephone switch facility) From the modem to you should be ethernet TCP/IP. In other words, DSL is transparent to your computer. It's merely the medium over which your TCP/IP packets are being sent. Your modem is assinged an IP for your default gateway. If you purchase a router like the one I mentioned, it will set itself up to the modem's default gateway IP and therefore becomes the new gateway for your network. It's set up for dhcp by default which makes networking your machines a snap. You can also specify static IP, though it's not necessary. Another nice thing is that it's also a 4 port switch, which allows you to share your internet connection with up to 4 computers and up to 255 if you break it out to more switches or hubs (a whole subnet) The beauty of the switch is that you'll be able to do full duplex connections between 2 PCs on your home network (200mbps) In addition, the router gives you a class C subnet structure (192.168.XXX.XXX) which makes it virtually inaccessable from outside your subnet (unless you forward a port or set a machine as DMZ host) It's almost a perfect firewall. so you don't have to worry about firewalling software (unless you want to protect your machine from others in your own network) Hope this helps. I know it's a little basic.

Re: [expert] adsl router, which one to buy?
Really? I can't even get Mandrake 9.0 to recognise my speed touch, how
does smoothwall recognise it?
BTW.. by old pc .. I assume you mean a PC that has USB. The only old
PC's I have are a 486 (no usb) and a sparc station IPC (no usb).
Really, rather than buy a router, I'd just like the speed touch to work
(be recognised at first) by mandrake 9. But nothing seems to help me :(

Having had no success getting my speed touch to work, I wondered what
adsl routers were 'guaranteed' to work under mandrake 9.0
I am specifically considering the following:

RE: [expert] ADSL setup - first attempt (help !!!)
Hi, What you need to do is register your mac with Telus. Their DHCP server will give ip only to registered mac address. It's an always on connection, you don't need to use pppoe, just plain old dhcp client would be fine. If you are close to Vancouver, I can give you a hand.

Ashley,
If they grab the mac address what would happen if you put it in a winbox.. connect.
Then put the nic card back into the linux box just a thought.

Re: [expert] ADSL setup - first attempt (help !!!)
I finally got a chance to work with this again and this time got in
touch with the isp. it turns out that they one of those that bind the
client eth0 h/w addr into their config. (i guess this process happens
automatically during the setup under windoze..)and they ARE running
pppoe and not dhcp.
unfortunately, i still could'nt get the adsl to come up.
the logs still show the same
...Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
...Timeout waiting for PADO packets
...LCP: Timeout waiting for Config-Requests
the Roaring penguin site mentions not to use the clients thats ship with
distros.. viz RH. so i'm going to the take the latest rp-pppoe, that i
just downloaded tomorrow on a disk and try all over again

Re: [expert] ADSL setup - first attempt (help !!!)
I am not an expert and have never done this in practice. Anyway...
My understanding is that PPPoE and DHCP are mutually exclusive (see also
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/configure.html). Which one does
your Telco use?
Assuming it is PPPoE, ifconfig should show both the ppp and the eth
interfaces up. What does ifconfg show when you configure pppoe (not dhcp)?
Your previous message showed the folowing log:
>>Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/5
>>Timecout waiting for PADO packets
What device is pts? The second line shows that the PPPoE client started,
it probably sent out the PADI packet but did not receive the PADO
answwer from the Telco. Could it be that it was not connected to the eth
interface?

The problem is the card. I have 6 of those requiring the de4x5 driver
and five of them don't work correctly in 8.1. There were about 80 field
engineering mods on this chipset/card and the driver simply doesn't
cover them all. So invest 9.95 to get a cheap implementation of an
rtl8139 and you will work fine.

Re: [expert] ADSL setup - first attempt (help !!!)
hi again,
i am using the mdk 8.1 power pack edition. all software versions are
according to whats on the CD. (no internet to get any updates...yet)
the ADSL-howto mentions that now most ISP's have changed to the pppoe
protocol in favour of Dhcp. the howto also mentiones that after the link
comes up, ifconfig should also show me the ppp0 interface.
after I configured the ADSL with dhcp and could ping *only* the DNS
servers, ifconfig still only show eth0 and lo, no ppp0
is it possible that the link uses pppoe and I'm forcing dhcp?
is it because dhcp is used the ppp i-f does not come up?
maybe i'm using the wrong protocol to connect ?
anyway, with dhcp configured, my routing table looks like:
---
10.23.64.0 * 255.255.192.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.23.64.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
---
ifconfig shows a configured ip of 10.23.125.218
later today I will try to confure th PC again, maybe this time I'll try
using another pppoe client.
pinging the DNS servers works, but no luck with any other ip on the
internet, should i also be thinking of reverse lookups or something on
the same lines. (maybe theres no route back to the PC)
excuse the ignorance (like i mentioned my first attempt)

If you can ping the DNS servers, you are done. The link works!
- try running `route' to see if you have a default router and try to
ping the router
you may be unable to ping anything outside your providers network
because they use some firewall. I have the same problem.

[expert] ADSL setup - first attempt (help !!!)
hi,
i've been trying to get Mdk 8.1 to connect to the internet via ADSL for
the last 2 days on a friends computer with no luck.
i installed Mdk 8.1 from the Powerpack boxed set on an old AMD-233 with
64 MB RAM and 2Gb Hdd. the telco (TELUS in BC,canada) installed the line
and modem before he had the computer up. (this is happening at an office
in a garment store!!. he plans to host his own web site in a while, this
PC will eventually function as a firewall).
The ADSL modem is a D-Link DSL300i. the only ethernet device is a
"DECchip 21041 {Tulip pass 3]"
I finally managed to get X working on the "SiS 63xx PCI VGA" with just 2
Mb (640x480 limit) on the card KDE is a real drag. with icewm I could
get to the mandrake control center and to launch the wizard to configure
the ADSL link. but the wizard failed to bring up the link.
I used rp-pppoe as the protocol. I went thru the ADSL-HOWTO and also
check out the rp-pppoe docs. (and followed them to the letter)
/var/log/messages show the foll:
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/5
Timecout waiting for PADO packets
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
the value /dev/pts/5 changes to 6 and the same errors repeat will pppd
dies and eventually pppoe.
i also tried with 'dhcpcd' protocol. this time the link seems to come up
with an valid ip assigned to it. 'ifconfig' shows a valid
ip/broadcast/sunet mask, even Linuxconf shows automatically obtained
DNS1 & 2 ip addresses. but I cannot ping any address except my own and
the DNS servers.
this is my first attempt at ADSL. what / where did i miss something ?
any pointers ? ideas ?
I need to get this done ASAP so I can convince him to go in for a linux
solution (he is currently biased towards a mac, of which i have'nt a
clue)

I don't see why it wouldn't work in Linux. I don't have Windows, I will probably never have windows here. What features does your ADSL have? Does it, for instance, require PPP over Ethernet, or does it not give you a static IP, you have to do DHCP, etc? Those 'extras' (i.e., garbage to make the DSL provider's life easier or whatever) will make life far more difficult for you. My DSL provider doesn't do that, which is nice - so over here, it is a static IP connection; all I do is ifconfig and route and I'm online :). You might want to peek into your Windows configuration files and see if there is anything that would make it seem as if you were using dhcp or ppp over ethernet etc. Did Earthlink give you 'connection' software, for instance? What does your ifconfig, route, etc. say in Linux? Can it see the network card? > When I booted up to Linux, Linux could not detect my ADSL. The eth0 > refuses to recognize my ADSL.

That could mean that it guessed dhcp (which is more common) and it's sitting trying to authenticate that way, and it'll just sit there if your DSL provider doesn't use that method.

[expert] ADSL -- runs on Win98, NOT on Linux!
Dear friends Would very much appreciate your help with figuring out why my new Earthlink/Covad/ADSL works in Win98 but not in Linux. I received my Earthlink self-install kit this afternoon and spent an hour on the phone with Earthlink tech support installing my new ADSL. There was a problem at first with having Windows recognize my ADSL. That is, the ADSL light did not come on. That was quickly solved: When I removed the splitter and connected the phone line directly to the jack, the ADSL light came on automatically and all was well. It's a ZyXel ADSL modem. I was then able to use a better kind of splitter and now I can run my ADSL on Windows and my telephone on the same line (it's a line-sharing type of ADSL, not a dedicated line). So, all is well in Windows. When I booted up to Linux, Linux could not detect my ADSL. The eth0 refuses to recognize my ADSL. After two minutes I get a big fat red X and it moves on. (By the way, Earthlink's ADSL modem is made by a different company than the one used by Bellsouth or by Juno/Covad) I installed networking last night in anticipation of my new ADSL. I may have caused problems in the process. Using DrakConf's Network installation I found that there are two options for installation, each involving different ways of setting up dhcp in Linux. One says: pppop (something like that -- unfortunately, I am in Windows right now) and another says: non-pppop (really apologize for not writing this down beforehand). At any rate, when I installed Juno/Covad ADSL two months ago, I selected the "non-" option and Linux immediately installed the dhcpd file. When I rebooted, Juno ADSL was immediately recognized. No problem. This time around, though, I selected the first option and installed a certain number of files from my 2-CD LM 7.2. I then decided that perhaps I had made a mistake and went back and selected the second "non" option. In other words, I now had selected both options. This time, in addition to the first set of files, I got the dhcpd file. The main difference I noticed (last night before the installation of Earthlink/ADSL and now after ADSL) is that upon booting up, Linux took an extra 30 or more seconds to take me into the console (where I log on into KDE2. Previously, my last "stop" on the Aurora bootup ladder was portsentry. It would quickly get a green check mark and go right into my console. This time, after getting the green check mark for Portsentry, Linux waits another 30-40 seconds before taking me uneventfully into the console. I though last night that this might be solved by Linux when it recognizes my ADSL. I hope that is the case. I mention this only because I clearly noticed this change in my bootup and thought it might be related to my choice of both options in DrakConf's Networking/ADSL installation. What may seem insignificant to me may be important in your troubleshooting. I talked to Earthlink's tech support about Linux. They said that I should have no problem in running their ADSL in Linux. It's just that they do not support it. Obviously, I had no problem running either Bellsouth's ADSL or Juno's ADSL and should certainly have no problem running Earthlink's ADSL (both Juno and Earthlink use Covad). But I have no idea what the problem is. I tried booting up to Linux with a direct telephone line to the wall jack, that is, without the splitter. It won't connect. That is, the ADSL button won't light up on the ADSL modem (the other three buttons do come on solid green). Could someone please help? Thanks so much.

Re: [expert] ADSL surfing problem
I think you need to configure your /etc/resolve.conf to get DNS servers...
you need to enter those in by hand as pppoe doesn't always get 'em for
you...
try pinging 24.142.52.1 and see if it's up...if so, then dsl obviously works

[expert] ADSL connection and local networks
I'm having trouble configuring an ADSL connection for my home network with DrakConf. I have two computers and one ADSL modem connected to a hub (AOpen 5-port Ethernet Hub). It would be better if two machines could use the modem independently. I have configured the Internet connection using DrakConf and all the routing configuration appears to be reset whenever the adsl service is started. This is no good because those computers cannot reach each other anymore. I have to do /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart in order to restore my routing configuration. I put /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart in /etc/rc.local, so I don't have to run that command manually. It doesn't seem to be the smartest solution, but it works. But the problem is that Mandrake Linux configuration tools don't seem support sophisticated LAN configurations... Is there a smarter solution that can be used by people who need point-and-click instructions? I can edit my start-up scripts, but I know many people who can't...
Re: [expert] ADSL surfing problem
I founded what it was ...
During the network configuration with DrakNet,
my Internet Provider's DNS servers were replaced by fancy one.
Everything work fine now.
Thanks for answering.

[expert] ADSL Needed with PAP Scerets file
Hi: I have done a clean install of Mandrake 7.2 with a set of GPL disk to get around the problems that were done with a fresh install from the Powerpack box. However no matter what I do drakenet will not configure and set up my ADSL correctly. I have even tried using ADSL-Setup from the installed rp-pppoe rpm only to find that did not work. So I have updated to the rp-pppoe 2.2 rpm. But still no joy. I have found ppp-conf blank. I corrected this with a text editor copying a config file that was correctly edited back to it. Now I am not sure of the form my PAP Scerets file should take. I have two entries one from the KPPP connector that I am using to connect to the internet with using my 56 K modem. The other from ADSL Setup. Could some expert point me to the right one for use with ADSL. PAP Scerets file is listed below: # Secrets for authentication using PAP # clientserver secret IP addresses ELN/@@ ppp0 "##" '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' * '$$' * My Question which is correct for ADSL use? The second one is the form I have seen before, should it also include the ppp0? I am stuped and have exhusted my knowledge. Thanks for your help in this matter. -- Ralph F.

[expert] ADSL INFO
I would like to give thanks to those who offered suggestions as to necessary configuration/setup for DSL service under Linux-Mandrake, Civilme ,Vincent Danen Jean-Michelt Dault. Thank you for your advise and direction. I have found that initially to setup infospeed dsl service acount with bellatlantic.net as the service provider requires that you be running a version of Windows95,98,NT,or the MAC OS, I will need to dig up some install CD's and put Windows on my clients system in order to initiate the services with bellatlantic.net. Once that is accomplished it appears as though the setup In Linux should be quite easy, I hope any way. Thank's once again for the advise. I would also like to acknowledge the Great efforts of the Mandrake developers in providing a very nice version of 7.1 (Helium) I have installed it now on six different systems 2 of which were fresh installs and 4 that were upgrades, including my own system and all seems to be working very well. Thank's for all your effort's, Great Job ! Dave David M. Kufta Konsult Ltd. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [expert] ADSL testing
ADSL, To the Mandrake developers, on the web site you are looking for testers of your ADSL setup, i'm available for that if u like have my system up & runnung now with pppoe...but was manual effort to make it work...if you have automated the process drop me a line Rick
