Fw: [newbie] alcatel speed touch pro Mand9
Hi Charlie, where he says in his advice about changing my vpi/-vci values what does he mean. I have never heard of this. Also, I don't need a user name or login, my computer runs through my router (the alcatel speed touch pro), and that negotiates the connection to my isp. It is always on. I am still having no luck getting the thing to work. Really, all I should have to do is give it the right info, as below, and it will all work. Is there a bug in Mandrake or something, cause this is starting to bug me. As I said, Red Hat 8 worked right out of the box. Windows even works straight off the mark, with no configuration. Anyone have any more suggestions? thanks greg - Original Message - From: Charlie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 1:46 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] alcatel speed touch pro Mand9 On November 27, 2002 03:48 am, greg wrote: Hi list, new to linux, and Mandrake.

RE: [newbie] alcatel speed touch pro Mand9
If your router is working for windows already and has run OK on RH8 the it MUST be your MD9 TCP/IP settings that are incorrect. I assume you can ping the router or access the WEB STYLE config page ... Suggest you have a close hard look at the TCP/IP settings , in particular the Gateway IP and the DNS settings. If you know the IP of an ISP or favourite web site, try to ping it by name and by IP. If you get a response by IP only then the DNS settings are wrong, if you get no response to either then the gateway is wrong and leads me to ask can you ping your router (by IP) ?? If you are using static IP's, check you have not mis-typed the IP's so the router and computer are in different subnets.You dont say whether your windows is static IP or using the router and getting an IP from it's inbuilt DHCP -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of greg Sent: Friday, 29 November 2002 11:03 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: [newbie] alcatel speed touch pro Mand9 Hi Charlie, where he says in his advice about changing my vpi/-vci values what does he mean.

Please help me!!! regards Greg Greg, Run the Mandrake Control Center and click on Network and Internet then Connection. Click now on the Wizard button. Let it auto-detect then make sure it's configuring the LAN connection. Select DHCP (automatic IP), specify your host name. DNS server and gateway should both be set to 10.0.0.138 At that point you should be done. HTH Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
