You have to know wich protocol you need to set.
As you say nothing, it may be that you use routed IP, you would need to find
a way to confirm that.
To be very basic, there is three layers of protocols to use ADSL on your IP
network :
- first level is atm, it's simple, same for all
- second level, that's more complicated, there is three major differents
protocols with two flavors:
Each of these three could be used with VC-mux or LLC flavors but not all
combinations are currently used
* bridged ethernet : mainly used with PPPoE on top
* routed IP :could work with static IP (or dhcp but not under linux)
* PPPoA :simple, nothing more on top of it
third level, there is way to attribute the IP:
- this is IPCP under all PPP flavors (PPPoE, PPPoA), mostly nothing special
to do
- it could be dhcp or static IP under routed IP and maybe bridged ethernet
Concerning static IP and routed IP, you need to note under windows :
- your local IP
- the gateway IP of the remote router (could have same three first parts of
the IP, only the fourth part is different and probably 254 or 1)
- network mask (probably 255.255.255.0)
Those settings are displayed on the fourth last lines when you do ipconfig
/all
The last line is for dns
Frankly, it is not simple to set under linux if your distribution does not
support that directly and you do not have any technical background.
