I HAVE NT PURGED THE NETWORK MANAGER STILL.............frgt to do it!

 

[praka123]

everything looks fine to me.
may be a look at the o/p of "route" command will help.

 

[mehulved]

@mehul:Can you tell me,how can he use apt on Ubuntu where his lan card is not detected?

Have you guys heard about an invention called Compact Disk? You can use that to upgrade the whole distro to hardy, and that will be much better than doing part by part.

 

[praka123]

well,at this moment,he dont want to upgrade

 

[nitish_mythology]

hmm...I am back to my place..Couldnt get Hardy as It was nt bundled by any mag tht sells here...
Even ppl at bsnl have still nt upgarded my plan to unlimited downloads....So i m stuck with this..

may be a look at the o/p of "route" command will help

Can u be a bit more clear...u know m bad at Linux!

 

[praka123]

open a terminal,type "route" ,show the o/p here

 

[nitish_mythology]

Here goes the output....

nitish@Nitish:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0

 

[praka123]

well,it seems OK to me

see,mine,when connected :

root ~ #  route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
59.93.0.1       *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

I hope yours is a stand-alone computer,make sure "ifconfig" shows lo and eth0 intefaces.open the file /etc/network/intefaces using "gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" in "run" dialog(ALT+F2).

Now check for the contents as below :-

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.2
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.1.0
  broadcast 192.168.1.255

save and exit.
restart network as "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" .when done,try "sudo pppoeconf" again.
report back

 

[nitish_mythology]

Do i have to chng the content of etc/network/interfaces with yours or just chk mine??

Finally i m fed up wth this..thinking of buying a new Lan Card or waiting till my plan changes and I get my hands on HARDY!

Here is the file

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

 

[praka123]

^check yours to be similar .make sure there is no line with "dhcp" .

^thats it!remove all the lines,use mine!

There is absolutely no need for new lan card,when your card is detected.what is the worth of going through all these steps then?

now,it is few small problems.you can rectify it fast!

 

[mehulved]

You are using pppoe na? try running pppoe-discover to check for presence of access concentrator.

 

[praka123]

it is "pppoe-discovery"

 

[nitish_mythology]

Tried all what u said and it seems tht it wll work out soon!
Edited the file..had to work around the write control with chmod but manged it on my own!
Feels good!
With pppoeconf it asked me lots of ques...including my dial up username n password..finally seems somethng is working!!!!!!!!!

[mehulved]

OK. this is good. pppoe access concentrator is found. So, it's working.
Now instead of trying to configure net for both linux, windows, just setup a bridged mode. No hassles in the future. Just connect and browse.

Maybe this could help *wiki.broadbandforum.in/Bridge_Mode_Setup

 

[nitish_mythology]

Cant figure out much..Even tried the sudo pon dsl-provider command and all I could do by my discretion..
Craeted a shortcut launcher too...going by praka123's initial post!
All shots in dark..I would like some guidance again!

 

[ray|raven]

^You on broadband or dialup?
If you are on dialup, imo, you should use wvdial with gnome-ppp as frontend, eases up connecting.

 

[praka123]

@nithish:a underground cable got cut here yesterday,so my net connection really sucks ,so sorry for the delay

now,
follow this:
well,DONT change the permission of any files!now,show me the output from terminal of:

 cat /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider

and the o/p from terminal of "route" and "ifconfig -a" after running "pon dsl-provider"

for a sample,below is mine :

# 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
#persist
#maxfail 0
#holdoff 20
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0
user [b]"broadbandusername"[/b]
usepeerdns

also,in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file(NEVER POST IT HERE,it is ur dataone username and password ) make sure it contains as below

 [b]"dataoneusername" * "dataonepassword"[/b]

^and save.
now reboot(or restart) and boot again Ubuntu,try the o/p after issuing "pon dsl-provider"
try to ping some sites like in terminal "ping -c5 google.com"

for editing these files,always try as below

PRESS ALT+F2 to get "run".inside type "gksudo gedit /path/to/whateverfile" edit and save

'coz u need root permission edit these files,dont change permissions for any of these files.

Even chked the username n password...it was alright!

 

[gary4gar]

Perhaps Try PPPoE mode(always on)
Put Users and password in modem itself.



1) System>Administration>Network

Type: Static Ip
Ip: 192.168.1.2
Subnet:225.225.225.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

2) Access Router config page at 192.168.1.1 and Change Connection type to PPPoE from Bridge mode.
Enter your Userid & password. click apply. Check PPPoE Light on the Router has glown or not. if not then check if you have correctly entered your userid & password. and Go to System and click on Save all changes.


Try pinging at

ping 192.168.1.1
ping [url]www.google.com[/url]

and then

dig [url]www.google.com[/url]

Please post the results

@Also tried what u said...
The ip was already correctly saved but Subnet instead of being 225.225.225.0 was 255.255.255.0
As per ur instructions i cahnged the Default gateway to 192.168.1.1

Well whn I tried to access the router conf page it asks fr username and pssword..i tried entering my broadband as well as Linux username and password but it was of no use...The password dialog box kept on reappearing!

So i cahnged the Subnet Mask back to 255.255.255.0 but it was of no use!

How to go around it now???
