Yyes!

Finally got it going.  Had to change pci slots.  Started linux, and it 
assigned my card a proper hwaddress.  Tried adsl-start, and worked like a 
charm.  Still seems a bit flaky (i rebooted, and when i came back into linux 
my hwaddress was back to 0s.. had to reseat my card to get it to come back).

Thanks for all of the help you guys have given me.  You are a great resource.

I haven't been following this thread and don't know if you've tried it, but 
(no offense to the fine and talented ppl at mdksoft), in this one particular 
instance you might be better off with the newest version from the roaring 
penguins site.  I couldn't get mdk vs. to work, but the one straight from the 
site connected the first try.  Just a thought.  
(Also as a side note, I couldn't get it to work with any of the number of 
installs of 7.2.  Don't know why, kept getting errors.  I had to use redhat 
for my server/router until 8.0 came out.)

Yeah, i've tried installing 3.0 off of cd too, and that wasn't working
either (same thing).  I'll check to make sure that the conf file you
mentioned is empty when i get  home tonight.

Thanks for the help

Yeah, i've got win98 and 2k on this system on top of mdk8, so i'm not at any
real loss of an internet connection, just at a loss of one under Linux...

Maybe i'll see if i can pick up a different nic while at work today.  What
is the brand recommendation for a network card under linux, if there is one?
Realtek? 3com? Intel? lemme know which ones are recommended.

Thx

./go is the install command for the rp-pppoe software, but after
re-installing linux i realized that i don't even need to install it off of
cd (as it's already included).. therefore, no more need for ./go

Have assigned my nic all the info below, have run adsl-setup, still no go.
Module is listed in modules.conf, and the messages log indicates close to
the following when trying to connect through adsl-start.. i don't know if
this will be any help:

:pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid0
:using interface ppp0
:connect pppo<-->/dev/pts/2
:LCP Timeout sending Config-Request
:Connection terminated

Also, get message in messages log file as follows pertaining to this

:Timeout waiting for PADO packets

As a fyi, when i make the request to connect (adsl-start), neither my dsl
modem nor my nic lights flash at all.  Also, even though ifconfig shows my
nic fine on eth0, my network card doesn't show up in the Mandrake Control
Panel under network cards.. I don't know if this matters or not.  It's a
DLink DFE 530TX PCI if that helps any.

Again, thanks to any who can help.

[newbie] PPPOE/Roaring Penguin/Network card

[rife]

Hey everyone,

I'm having problems getting my PPPOE connection going in Linux (MDK 8.0).

Running ifconfig eth0, it would appear as though my network card is
detected and functioning properly.

Installed RP 3.0, and ran ./go (./go-gui wouldn't work for me for some
reason, gave me problem when trying to open gui).  

./go worked fine, but when i try to run adsl-start, it just "..."'s until
it times out.  My modem lights don't even flash at this point, so it's
gotta be in the configuration.

In the "control panel" (can't remember what that thing is called right now,
away from my computer presently), i've checked my network card, and i've
tried giving it an ip of 0.0.0.0, or 198.162.0.1 (or other non-routable
varients).  Tried setting it to DHCP and to static.  Removed the "Load on
boot" or whatever it's called as the readme suggests.  PNP OS was already
set to no in my BIOS.

The only thing that bugs me is that under "Other Devices" in the
device-manager equivilant of kde, i have several things listed there all
very non-descriptive (via somethingoranother).

Any ideas as to how to get my PPPOE connection going?  Thanks

Scott
