connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
i found the link on connecting bsd gnome to dsl internet darn helpful.i connected to dsl using the code written by mr doug i believe to work correctly inside a freebsd guest os inside vmware player using which i connected gnome to dsl internet .in between i had the tryst with vi typing code into rc.conf file had good fun there .typing this email from gnome bsd 8 internet email as a result .odes of gratitude ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
I have tried searching the net with FreeBSD+DSL but all I can read is about PPPoE which requires a username and password which I don't have. My DSL account is an always on account with a static IP address and I guess it doesnt have a username/password for connection to the ISP. My DSL is always on and I get static IP, however, I do have a user name and password. I am in Australia by the way. You may try getting an ADSL modem+router, not just an ADSL modem. The router will connect to the ISP, and it is via PPPoE, the modem provides DHCP, then you can connect your 4.10 to it. But then again, I do supply username and password to the ADSL router. Please find out from your ISP if you do get a username+ password. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
Hello everyone! I have a FreeBSD-4.10 machine and a newly connected DSL with static ip address. The DSL connection setup uses an ADSL modem (SMC7901BRA) which has 1 connection to my phone line and 1 connection to my LAN card using UTP cable. In Windows XP setup, the process of setting up Internet is just as easy as configuring the TCP/IP prpoerties with the static ip address given to me and other details such as gateway, dns, subnet mask etc. My machine has a dual-boot WinXP and FreeBSD-4.10. As I've said above, I can easily connect to the Internet using the WinXP. But, I want to try FreeBSD to connect to the Internet, but it doesn't work. Here's what I did to test if I can connect to Internet via DSL using FreeBSD: 1. Reboot or boot to FreeBSD-4.10 2. Login as root 3. /stand/sysinstall to assign IP address, gateway, and dns 4. Reboot machine to make sure new IP settings take effect 5. Do an ifconfig and see that the IP settings are correct 6. I can ping my own IP address (static IP address of the DSL assigned by my ISP) 7. When I try to ping the ISP's given gateway, I receive ping to: Host is down. 8. Seeing the modem status, the LAN and SYNC signals are up but the DATA is off. I have tried searching the net with FreeBSD+DSL but all I can read is about PPPoE which requires a username and password which I don't have. My DSL account is an always on account with a static IP address and I guess it doesnt have a username/password for connection to the ISP. Does FreeBSD need to detect my DSL modem if it is connected to the NIC using a UTP cable connected to the modem? Here's my setup: [DSL modem]-[DSL Provider] (provides static IP address) | | | [FreeBSD's LAN card] Does anybody has an experience connecting FreeBSD to a DSL with a static IP address and has similar setup above? Actually my real purpose is to use FreeBSD as LAN gateway using the DSL connection. But I wanna try first connecting the FreeBSD machine as a stand-alone PC which uses the simple setup above. If this setup works, the gateeway setup will surely work too.

Certainly posting the rc.conf of your freebsd machine will help as might the output of netstat -rn thanks -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
If your ISP does not use PPPoE it is really quite simple. I included my laptop rc.conf just to show it plays no part: hostname=mneme.boltsys.com moused_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES usbd_enable=YES linux_enable=YES nfs_client_enable=YES nfs_server_enable=YES nfs_reserved_port_only=YES rpcbind_enable=YES I take this system around to a site using cable, dsl, my office where I connect via a wireless network and, under duress dial-up. For that reason I boot up and then connect. Every where except for the office that is as simple as: dhclient ep0 as that the antique NIC I use. Both the cable modem and the DSL modem I connect to provide DHCP on the inside. On the outside, the cable modem seems to get a fixed IP from its network. My DSL connection uses 192.168.0 addresses but all you have to do is connect to the modem as a gateway. My wireless setup: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey 0x... dhclient wi0 If your modem has a fixed IP adding defaultrouter=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ifconfig_nic0=inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 or ifconfig_nic0=DHCP to rc.conf should be all you need. You can of course do this manually by: ifconfig nic0 add inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx I would then first try to ping an IP address and then a host name. If your ISPs DNS really is bad, you can change the hostname to localhost to avoid all the dns timeouts. If it all works, netstat -nr will have a line something like: Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.23.3 UGS 012052wi0 I hope this helps On Sat, 12 Mar 2005, Cheezy Vines wrote: Hello everyone!
