Re: [newbie] Getting online with DSL modem
that says JR something like, SIOCDELRT not found. I don't think those are the actual JR words to the error message, but the general idea. What is SIOCDELRT? I'm having exactly the same problem with 10OE the Speedtouch 330 DSL Modem (albeit USB). It works fine under 9.2 10CE, but not official. I'm quite eager to know what SIOCDELRT is as thats what I get when I try to run the modem SIOCDELRT: No Such Process and then the connection attempt fails. Hopefully some brainy Linux guru out there can enlighten us all! JRH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks very much, Jeff Would it be possible to get a cheap router, and connect through that? I had no problems connecting to SBC yahoo! DSL when I switched from Windows to Mandrake and I have a router because I have to share the connection with my dad. You just toss your login and password into the router configuration, and set your mandrake box to connect to the router. Should be easy as pie, no? At least, it's something to consider if the other advice you've received in the list here doesn't fix it and let you connect to the external modem directly? Jeff It is likely that you are already online so this may not help. I am running 10.0 Official and have had my problems. Do not call the help line the people who answer that line know nothing about computers and have a computer program based on M$ so IMHO they are worse than nothing. My problem was resolved as a username password problem which you cannot set unless you can contact yahoo. I would suggest that you call DSL Maint @ 1-877-274-6275 Ext. 7202 or 6228. They know their system and are helpful altho they dont know linux. -- Regards; Hoyt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Getting online with DSL modem
Hey Justin, They use PPoE. Do I have to give the network card an IP or anything at all? I have been specifying PPoE when setting up the internet connection. Right now, the network card is set for static with an IP address specified - the primary IP that SBC gave me. I apologize in advance for any stupid questions. This is very new to me.

Since most of them don't know the system they are supposed to support they may never know. An email with a specific request takes a day but the info is good. Talking to them is near hopeless. When you boot into KDE there is a panel in the center of the screen. That is one of your accesses to mcc if you unchecked the box click on the welcome flag.

Okay, I have the network card set to DHCP. I have the IP addresses that I got from SBC entered in to the ADSL connection screen. The network card is not finding an IP address via DHCP.

Sorry your day isn't as good as mine :) Anyhow, that SIOCDELRT usually means a configuration problem in my experience (SIOC are calls to the TCP/IP stack, SIOC = stack in/out calls, DELRT = delete route). It means you tried to delete a route that doesn't exist. Here's a quick way to check if everything is OK. Open up a terminal (the command line is your friend), and type: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or open the file in your favorite text editor) This command will show you what is inside the ifcfg-eth0 file.
