Hello people, First of all an apology for not providing a single word of French. My French isn't all that good.
I am totally confused. My ADSL line used to work fine with one provider. Then I switched providers. The old provider used ppp-over-atm. The new one says they use bridged IP. The modem is a Speedtouch, reddish kind. My system is Red Hat 7.1, with a 2.4.20 kernel. I installed parts of speedbundle-1.0, as well as pppd-2.4.2b3. Something trivial seems to go wrong. Pppd doesn't accept 'nas0'. What am I doing wrong? Hotplug and my adsl-on are in each others way, but that shouldn't matter, right? Tell me that I should deal with one problem at a time, but there is something else. The provider's technician, when he finally revealed that they weren't using pppoa, said: we're using bridged IP and DHCP, there is no need to login, since we log you in by the identity of your line in the telephone exchange. Does anyone know what that means? Am I on the wrong track with pppd? With pppoe? Any kind of answer is greatly appreciated, -- George. This is my adsl-on command: #!/bin/sh /sbin/modprobe ppp_generic /sbin/modprobe ppp_synctty /sbin/modprobe n_hdlc /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci sleep 1 /usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -f /usr/local/etc/alcaudsl.sys -e 1 br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a 0.8.48 /usr/sbin/pppd ipparam "$1" call adsl-zonnet ... and this is /etc/ppp/peers/adsl-zonnet: (I tried nas0 in various other places.) debug kdebug 1 lock noipdefault defaultroute noauth holdoff 4 persist maxfail 25 usepeerdns asyncmap 0 name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" lcp-echo-interval 2 lcp-echo-failure 7 plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2b3/rp-pppoe.so nas0 .. and this a relevant part of the log file: BTW, it sometimes says that ADSL has started, and lists the correct speed.
