Re: [newbie] ADSL Setup with Mandrake 8.1
Hi, Im sure it is because I screwed something up on the install that mine is not setup correctly. However I did not want to retry it as installing Mandrake 8.1 on a P90 is a little painful. I had a few crashes as well. Because of the spec of my machine I did a fairly small install. Just enough for the firewalling. Then later rpm'd the NDS server as well. Thanks for the info on the network scripts. Ill look into those files when I get home. Re your question. I dont think it will be a problem. In route you can define routes to addresses which dont exist and they will kick in once they are available. So the fact that ppp0 drops from time to time should not matter. In fact mine has dropped once already without any problem (it re-connected automatically and continued to work). Claude. Hi, I've got the same modem as you but the routing is set up correctly. I used drakconf to configure my setup. I see in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that ifup sets the default route and ifup-ppp deletes any existing route prior to that. It's quite complicated. I'm also planning of setting up a fw using fwbuilder as a front-end. Do you think it is possible to define the external interface in our case since the address we have is not fixed and the interface, ppp0, dissappears from time to time. I haven't looked into it I must admit but if you have any experience... Guy. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] ADSL Setup with Mandrake 8.1
First of all can I say its really good that 8,1 has added support for the Alcatel SpeedTouch modem. This has simplified things alot for me! Now onto my problem Ive installed a very small setup of Mandrake 8.1 with firewall support only. The intention is to run it as a firewall/Name Server/Proxy Server/Web Server on my small network at home. The ADSL modem I have setup is the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB. This seems to work however my routing tables dont seem to be setup correctly. When my machine starts it auto connects (everthing looks fine in /var/log/messages). However I cant ping my ISPs DNS server. When I run route to see the routes setup it hangs until I ctrl-break. If I then add a route to my DNS server I then get all these additional entries in my routing table. If I then add a default route via the device ppp0 everything seems to work from my linux box. Ideally I would like this to happen automatically on startup of the box. Any ideas? Thanks Claudio Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

What is in your /etc/resolv.conf file before and after you get it working?
