Hi All I have recently got a broadband connection with iprimus with an external modem/router (Netcomm NB5).
I am running Ubuntu and have tried using some of the adsl configuration tools (pppoeconfig and roaroing penguin) this was unsucessfull (unable to find aggregator was the message - I think). I got it working; using DCHP the ethernet card gets a local IP address from the modem and I can ping outside IP adresses. logging into the modem/router and noting the assigned DNS servers and enter these in my resolve.conf file. I am able to get e-mail do web browsing etc. Is this a reasonable way to set it up? It seems too simple compared to what I've read. I assume the modem/router is doing all the connecting. I am concerned that this may be an insecure way to connect and I want to automatically connect when the computer turns on. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
