This has been discussed endlessly in this list and at many places on internet. It all depends on how you setup your connection and your modem/router. 1. You can put your router in bridge mode and then configure the connection client on your machine. This seems to be default because the technician installing the connection does not know any other way. Ideally the connection configured this way should just show as DSL connection in NM. If it doesn't then some problem with NM or configuration. 2. You can put the router in routed mode, configure connection on the device and simply put your machine in DHCP mode (roaming mode in case of NM). This is ideal setup in most of the situations and specifically when you have more than one machines. This works perfectly with NM. Take your pick.

Inline posting would be helpful First this is a password based connection ?? needs a user name and password and Auto eth0 does not do it so it *has* to be setup with the ADSL option. Yes this normally works but so far it has not and after a recent update network manager seems to even buggier the only thing is that it makes sure that Mobile broadband devices work well. So don't want to mess with WICD unless i know these also work there. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

The router is a Huawei ZXC 531B. I have connected to both open as well as WEP encrypted connections. So perhaps you are having problems with the Siemens router. I have also recreated the Auto eth0 connections and have not had any problem with it. Sorry I have not been of much help.

Re: [ubuntu-in] BSNL Broadband does not work through Network Manager Applet in Ubuntu 9.10
Its not a bug. Network manager doesnt support pppoe. This has been a major feature request since a long time but no one has bothered to do it. pon and poff are the only way you have. And to my knowledge, even WICD cant act as a pppoe dialer. Regards, Ishan -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] BSNL Broadband does not work through Network Manager Applet in Ubuntu 9.10
Hi Am setting up a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10 (Ultimate) . Everything has gone well. The only issue is the BSNL Broadband It is an ADSL connection and does not connect through the Network Manager Applet. I had to use use pppoeconf to set it up. Even on my laptop its the same problem The modem is a Siemens C2110. And the connection is via ethernet. The auto eth0 starts up and connects to the modem but it only allows access to the device and no further. Any idea what the problem could be. Some time back on a similar network problem Shakthi Kannan posted a network-debub script file http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/scripts/network-debug.sh which i am using to attach the details below: Would appreciate knowing whats wrong and how to rectify this. *** Network Debug Helper Script Version 1.1 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt shakthimaan at gmail dot com ifconfig -- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:41:56:39:7d inet6 addr: fe80::216:41ff:fe56:397d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:17410 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17875 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:18980808 (18.9 MB) TX bytes:2174881 (2.1 MB) Memory:ee00-ee02 irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 00:00:00:00 NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:8 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2241 (2.2 KB) TX bytes:2241 (2.2 KB) pan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr d2:2a:f5:42:99:c3 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:117.205.131.73 P-t-P:117.205.128.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1460 Metric:1 RX packets:17233 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17694 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:18590932 (18.5 MB) TX bytes:1779838 (1.7 MB) vboxnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0a:00:27:00:00:00 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:02:4d:55:bf UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-13-02-4D-55-BF-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP RUNNING MTU:0 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) iwconfig -- lspci - route -n -- Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 117.205.128.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 ppp0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 00 ppp0 resolv.conf --- nameserver 218.248.255.194 nameserver 218.248.255.162 # Generated by NetworkManager domain local.lan search local.lan kernel Linux ram-laptop 2.6.31-16-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 3 22:00:22 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux loaded modules Module Size Used by bridge 47952 0 stp 2272 1 bridge bnep 12060 2 btusb 11856 2 xt_TCPMSS 3868 1 xt_tcpmss 1852 1 xt_tcpudp 2780 1 iptable_mangle 3452 1 pppoe 11076 2 pppox 3016
