Problem Installing FC7

[gary4gar]

@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???

When you access your Config page, use "admin" as userid & password
its password to access your router, its different from other passwords

also, keep subnet at 255.255.255.0 only

Still Stuck..
The usrname n password worked out well...but i couldnot find any option where i could change it frm bridge mode to pppoe!

Mayb u can guide me with the menus too... Here is a screenshot!

[gary4gar]

The User interface in every modem is different, so i can't help much there.

Also, the image isn't loading here.
Please don't use imageshack., it sucks
so i can't see the screenshot

Hint:
click on edit in pcv0
then you gotta check out some options.
All Options are easy enough to understand.
Consult the manual of Your router. it must be having information how to connect to Internet in PPPoE mode.

 

[nitish_mythology]

In my modem configuration page(ADVANCED SETUP---WAN) the username is multiplay...chked it in windows too..
Dont know the pass as i could nt see it ...The mode is already pppoe so no need to chng it frm bride to ppoe!

So you don't know your broadband password?
strange!
Okay do one thing.
Use Asterisk Key - shows passwords hidden under asterisks.
Its is windows Utility, download it from here ==> *www.lostpassword.com/asterisk.htm

 

[nitish_mythology]

No!!! ofcourse i know my broadbadn pass..but as the username saved was diff..it thought tht mayb the pass was diff too!

update:
Chked it up wth the soft u provided...the password is 'multiplay' too!

Why nt my bsnl dataone usrname n pass?

 

[gary4gar]

There are two set of user id and pass for new users. NIB-II.
i assume you are on newer one.117.xxx.xxx.x.x bbservice.bsnl.in

* To connect to bsnl
* To view data usage(portal id)

its a confusion here, if mode is already PPPoE, then how you connect with windows based dialer?

Please tell what procedure you adopt to connect to BB in windows

 

[praka123]

@nitish:my phone was dead(hence net too ) so no replies.

see,either try bridge mode(that I told) or use router dialer.

choose your options

now edit "gksudo gedit /etc/modules"
and add these two in two seperate lines :-

pppox
pppoe
ppp_generic

save and reboot
try again!

 

[FilledVoid]

In my modem configuration page(ADVANCED SETUP---WAN) the username is multiplay...chked it in windows too..
Dont know the pass as i could nt see it ...The mode is already pppoe so no need to chng it frm bride to ppoe!

How about first changing the multiplay in both username and password to the username you wee given. When they come to install the modem they should have given you a paper which contains your email id and portal ID.

Example abcdef@bsnl.in

Then try the username as abcdef and password as password. Save and try to connect now . That should do it. Otherwise give them a call and first get the id before you go through the loads of configuring you have already done.

the way you know you have were able to connect is that on the info page you have an ip for both Default Gateway and DNS servers. if you have that then usually its a problem with the DNS servers or one of the servers which authenticate you.

K I did what u said..it didnt work..so pls chk whether i made the enteries right!
Here is the exact output of file..

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#

# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

pppox

Oh sorry, My bad. i thought you just wanted the internet connection to work.

 

[praka123]

@nitish:it looks fine

now,did u tried "pon dsl-provider" after reboot?.

I am posting everything from scratch.just to make it easy for you.

1.boot into ubuntu ,open terminal run "sudo modprobe ppp_generic"

2.run "ifconfig" command.make sure "lo" and "eth0" interfaces are up.
3.assign local IP address for eth0(lan card).for that either use "network-admin" GUI(in menu System>administration>Network) or edit manually /etc/network/intefaces.
you should be ideally use below one

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0

[B]auto eth0[/B]

iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

then restart network as "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"

4.Run "sudo pppoeconf" .when prompted answer the questions.give ur dataone userid and passwd.
now it will ask reg MTU,say "yes" there.again will ask whether "always ON connection" needed or not.
answer "NO".
now with this configured successfully,you can ON pppoe using "pon dsl-provider" and OFF using "poff" command.

make sure after all this configuring exercises that /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider is like below:

# 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 "yourbroadbandusername"
usepeerdns

also,make sure ur /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets contains ur dataone username and passwd.

5.run ifconfig again(after issuing pon dsl-provider) to make sure dataone pppoe is connected showing interface "ppp0".

6.If dataone is not connecting,run "plog" command to detect what error happened.

Since,you have removed networkmanager from Ubuntu,it will be easier now

Go through the list patiently and reply

Best of Lux

POSTING THIS FR LINUX...................HORAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


wow..finally managed it! I just cant beleive it yaar..thanks praka123! Without u I could nt even understand what was gng on!

Thanks mehulved, gaurish...............

Now Regarding my sound card problem...
Whn i click on the sound icon next to date i get this error!

he volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.

Was thnk of down xmms n stuff but now as i am low on bandwidth..thinking of dropping the idea!

Another prb is on issuing poff command,here it goes!

nitish@Nitish:~$ poff dsl-provider
/usr/bin/poff: /bin/kill failed. None stopped.

The pppoe conn starts as soon as i ubuntu starts..i dont have to give the pon dsl-provider command! How to change it??
Downloaded xmms frm GUI(Add Remove) its insatlled but all the options are blank! I mean i can see the buttons but nothing is written on them!

Mayb some graphic lib needs to b insatalled,,,well 1st i need to take care of my sound card conf..its onboard on my ages old pc!

 

[mehulved]

Leaving the fscking xmms alone please. It's outdated and gtk2 port has not been ready in years. Get audacity if you want something similar.
