[Tutorial] Configuring an Always On DataOne on gnu/Linux

[vignesh]

Actually its my friends... Ya its ADSL.... He uses BEETEL 220BX ADSL 2 + MODEM.He connects using LAN..

 

[desertwind]

Then this should work for him too. But he'll need some data like Primary and Secondary DNS. Contact their Customer Care for that.

Or if you're so patient, try reading This

Hey...I configured it using adsl-setup script...Thanks guys

Just for the record,those with ADSL connections who want to configure on Linux,the below link should help.

@desert Another friend of mine has a usb modem and is using Airtel broadband...But the usb modem is not detected.He uses Ubuntu 5.10

 

[desertwind]

@vignesh, the link i given above explains how to install drivers for an airtel usb modem. try that.

Why not use the following software for connection via a ADSL modem? I think it is far more easier, atleast for newbies. My friend uses this to connect to the internet. He uses the BSNL Dataone Connection .

Link to PPPOE Client (has a readme, which is understandable )

Would have done better if i had pasted this link before

[desertwind]

rp-pppoe is used for a Connection-On-Demand. and this tutorial mainly intended to help users configure an Always-On connetion.

NIC prob.

He guyz,
I have done exactly as said by DESERTWIND ( i use SuSE 10 ),but no avail( i have complained about this before also).I have connected via NIC card ( D-link DFE-538 TX 10/100).
The configuration goes fine.All the test mentioned are positive.But after restarting the comp ,the colour of the link indicator of the Huwaie modem becomes RED ( which is green initially) and i cannot connect to DATAONE.
Interestingly,now even in Windows( XP) the connecting is stuck at the message

         Connecting through WAN Miniport ( PPOAE)

And hence i have no option now but to connect via USB in windows.........( i.e whenevr i connect the modem via NIC card,the link Indiactor turns RED from Green and I cannot connect )
Please help me trouble shoot his.Is there any problem in the MODEM or has it been configured in a wrong way ?

Whee! As my router was already configged for net connection, installing a LAN card and enabling DHCP did the work in seconds for me!

 

[hermit]

TO connect to internet use this code in terminal

sudo pppoeconf

its very simple , just configure accordingly .

i never thought using net would be so simple in Linux(Ubuntu).

 

[gary4gar]

the terminal does not accepst inconfig command gives 'BASH' what to do????

 

[hermit]

it works for ubuntu(Gone) .what r u using ?

 

[mehulved]

the terminal does not accepst inconfig command gives 'BASH' what to do????

inconfig? It should be ifconfig.

hi guys
Suse 10.0 detects my modem(aleast names it properly)
Does that mean that it has loaded the proper driver.
How do i know wether it has loaded it properly?

Do any of you have cdcether module?
i cant compile the module for suse 10.0.
