Does your /etc/nsswitch.conf have a dns option in the hosts line ? ie. hosts: files dns I imagine it will do, but worth checking. 2. Is your firewall allowing dns traffic in from BT's name servers?? You could try rerunning the firewall script and it may create entries in line with your /etc/resolv.conf. Alternatively put them in by hand -A input -s 213.120.62.101 53 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -i ppp0 -p 17 -j ACCEPT -A input -s 213.120.62.100 53 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -i ppp0 -p 17 -j ACCEPT Hope this helps Tom Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
[speedtouch] bootable cd dsl distro
For those that are interested a colleague of mine has developed a bootable cd distribution with all the speedtouch usb stuff built in. Just insert cd boot comp, load modules / microcode , call pppd and bosh! You've got a working router. Its currently under beta testing, but I've tried it and it works a treat. If enough ppl are interested then he may let you trial the beta. Currently only works with pppoa2 as pppoa3 gives Jul 2 19:16:51 gateway pppd[74]: Couldn't attach to channel 2: No such device or address Jul 2 19:16:51 gateway pppd[74]: Couldn't get channel number: Input/output error http://www.keeper.org.uk Tom Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe

Of course it doesn't include the microcode ;) I forgot that step, "scp your microcode into /etc/ppp from your BT driver cd" Tom Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe

Remove the gateway line in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, mine looks like this DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.0.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 #GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 > 3) how do I load up the adsl connectin on boot automaticaly?

If you are getting bored then try pppoa2, replace /usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi 0 -vci 38 with /usr/local/sbin/pppoa2 -vpi 0 -vci 38 Tom Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe

I had the same hiccup initially until I checked the faq, just a reference in the howto that said 'check the faq for these values' (or something) would do the job.

As a (nearly) complete newbie to linux you > may need to state the obvious. Your connection sounds fine, this sounds like your firewall is blocking dns traffic back to your box. Try pinging hostnames and then pinging ip addresses, this will tell you for sure. Check your default route by typing # /sbin/route You should see a default route listed there. Let me know if you have any problems configuring the firewall. Tom Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe

Most things seem to > be. Depends whether you are running iptables or ipchains. Iptables is the more intelligent of the two, however I think redhat 7.3 uses ipchains by default ( 7.2 does anyway ). The relevant files are either /etc/sysconfig/ipchains or /etc/sysconfig/iptables I've got a feeling (but I might be wrong) that redhat will read your /etc/resolv.conf and put in appropriate rules, run # /etc/init.d/ip(chains|tables) restart to affect this.

Terence There is an init script that comes with the source, chuck that in to /etc/init.d/ , I think you need to edit the speedtouch.conf file and put it in /etc as well, but you'll work it out I'm sure.

When BT provision your dsl line they enable 'service selection' so that your line can only authenticate with 'whatever isp' The only other criteria they then require when you connect, is that your domain (@btbroadband.com) matches the service you are provisioned for. They then pass this onto the home gateway and let radius authenticate you. In your case it looks like as long as you have the @btbroadband.com bit in your chap file, then everything should be rocking and rolling. Call tech support and ask them nicely if they can check the radius logs to see where your authentication is going wrong.
