How to Dataone Broadband in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn....
My huawei adsl router MT 880 settings looks as below:
*iup.in/img/praka123/Screenshot-1.jpg
look at the bridge mode which i selected.I think there u set up ur connection using router dialer.
*iup.in/img/praka123/Screenshot-2.jpg
^^ these settings to me giving the fastest speed.
ur router model uh? I dont get may be a UTSTAR one?check the body of router for some clues
I'll try explaining how to set up dataone on Debian/Ubuntu Linux if u got LAN card(mostly inbuilt) in ppp mode rather than using router's inbuilt dialer.it is risky using router's configuration via dialer as someone can administer ur router if u didnt reset ur router passwd.leave it apart,
First make sure ur LAN card is enable and is up.
the output shud show ethx,where x is ur lan card(s) number.
for reference below is my output.
Code:
[B]eth0[/B] Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:88:99:GE:AV

if u got "lo" and "ethx" there in the output
Lets see:
first open a terminal.type and enter below commands.
^^ this will go step by step setting ur internet.at somewhere in last section,it will ask for always on connection-if u want only say yes.else say no.now after everything is over.go to ur terminal or ALT+F2 run dialog and enter :
will switch on dataone
and:
Code:
~$[B]poff dsl-provider[/B]
^ switches off.
U can make shortcuts for this in ur desktop or top panel that will be used to on or off.
Did u configured dataone using router in-built dialer.then below tutorial is not valid for.otherwise do u remember running "pppoeconf" command.then follow this:
First be ready to use terminal
open a terminal and type :
Code:
post the output in the thread.
now u may need to reset ur firewall rules if u ever use one.(firestarter,lokkit etc)
I'll explain how to set up opendns.open gedit as root by following below steps.
press keyboard ALT+F2 to get a run dialog.inside u type below lines and press enter.it will ask for ur passwd-enter it.
Code:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
put a "#" before the "usepeerdns" line.then save and exit the editor.the file will look a like below one ofcorz with ur userid :
Code:
jaguar:~# cat /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
# Minimalistic default options file for DSL/PPPoE connections
noipdefault
defaultroute
replacedefaultroute
hide-password
#lcp-echo-interval 30
#lcp-echo-failure 4
noauth
persist
#mtu 1492
#usepeerdns
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0
user "username"
look for the lan interface name using the "ifconfig" command and make sure it is "eth0" else change.but mostly pppoeconf had done the job for u.so look only the usepeerdns line.
.now again use "run" dialog by pressing ALT+F2 and run below command:
Code:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
inside remove/clear the page and insert below lines and save and exit.
Code:
Code:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
now restart ur computer if u like and try switching on internet.
go to *welcome.opendns.com
^ it shud show a welcome message if everything is fine.
if u r yet to configure dataone on Ubuntu using pppoeconf command.pls look at ur threads for update.
