Hi all.

How do I know the IP, Gateway and name server?

Thanks desertwind for the info. I have done as you have suggested. But tell me how to log in to internet. I mean, in windows I have configured a connection for DataOne wherein I log in using my username and password. Is there something similar in SuSE 9.2 Pro? I have tried Kinternet but it seems to be made for dial-up connections only.

Please help.

You can definitely connect using kinternet.check again..

What router are you using @ sourav ..?
I have SmartAX 882 and running DataOne with this config on Suse 9.3 :
Open *192.168.1.1/ in FireFox for access to Router admin interface ..
First save the current settings to hard drive for a backup from Tools > System Settings > Save to hard drive ..

Now change Home > Wan Settings > PVC 0
Change it to RFC 2684 Bridged and connection type as Pure Bridged .. Leave the other settings as they are ... Save and reboot the router ...

Now login to Linux and run Yast > Network Devices > DSL
Create a profile for your account like this ..
Set the Network card to DHCP .. Enter your DataOne username and password in the preceding window .. KInternet will run and create profile for your connection ..
You can then connect to DataOne easily .. And yeah .. Enable your firewall too ..

Thanks everyone for your kind support. Finally, I have set up DataOne access in SuSE and I am posting this from inside SuSE.

However, I am having just one problem. Earlier in Windows, I could view the amount of data transfer by clicking the icon in the system tray. Now is there any way to view the amount of data transfer in the current session from inside linux? Please provide some reply as I am approaching my usage limit fast.

Thanks for any reply.

Go to the above link and download, Extract to any location.. go into the folder

1. Open the "dataone.pl" script in any editor of your choice.

2. Edit the username and password lines as shown below. Put your username and password in place of $username$ and $password$.After you're done, the lines should be something like: (double-quotes are necessary)
$username = "johnsmith";
$password = "banjoh123";

3. If your network usage is free at certain times, include those times in the line starting with @free_times. Supposing
usage is free from 2AM to 8AM, the @free_times line should be changed to:
@free_times = ("02:00:00","08:00:00");
In the script, an appropriately commented line is provided. Remove the "#" at the beginning of the line to use it.

4. Leave @free_times at it's default setting to disable free usage calculation.
@free_times = ();

5. If your monthly maximum usage is not 1GB (1024MB), then, change it in the line starting with $monthly_quota.

6. Save the file. On the prompt, type this:
perl dataone.pl

And you will get the usage!
Everything Including the above Steps is given along with the file.

There will be some Panel Applet for that. I'm not using KDE or SuSE. Check for the available panel applets

Is there any software for TataIndicom Broadband connection (in Linux)? Because they provide only
Windows Software for their modem.
I use a DSL Modem . My speed is 512 kbps.

use rpppoe

*www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/pppoe/rp-pppoe-3.7.tar.gz

Install it using the gui mode (need root access)
In the giu just give your uname, password
provide eth device (eth0 ) if needed and enable its use for users. dont fill any other setting.

Ten after on use tkppore (Gui) to log on.

It works like charm.

 

[praka123]

but rp-pppoe is bundled with all major distros...it is named diffrntly like debian using pppoe etc...

 

[gauravnawani]

As far as I can understand they mod it, to use it according to their choices, this seperate download and installation will not hurt IMO.

I have use it in three distros which didn't game me acces through BSNL connection. Suse10, Ubuntu5.10 and Debian Sarge. While rp-ppoe work like charm.

 

[cool_dude_prav]

best in my opinion is to use rp-ppoe which normally comes as default (i think) and let it connect automatically on boot... Configured thro'

$pppoeconf
