Hello again, this is my first post in a couple of years and have
recently upgraded to FC6.

I am setting up an ADSL connection in to a Speedstream4200 router. The
connection from the router to the ISP is good. Through the logs I can
see that it is giving an IP address through DHCP. I am using 2 NICs and
eth1 connects to the router. I cannot seem to get the connection
working. I have created a DSL device in network configuration and also
used adsl-setup which created a ppp0 device, but neither work. From
various googlings I have run these with iptables on and off but to no
avail.

it sound like you don't need to configure an adsl interface on your
linux box as that is already taken care of by your speedstream. you
just need to configure a regular ethernet connection with dhcp so your
box will pull a dynamic address from your adsl router.


internet <---adsl---> speedstream <---regular ethernet ---> linux box

That is what I thought. However, when bringing up the DSL device
(called it BigPond), it times out, as does the device created by
adsl-setup.

[root@NEC ~]# /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down interface eth1: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface BigPond: /sbin/adsl-start: line 214: 4367
Terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1
[FAILED]
[root@NEC ~]#

Both eth1 and BigPond devices are set to DHCP and the router is giving
an address in the 10.0.0.* range, its address is 10.0.0.138 and can
access it using Mozilla to view its logs also.

Is it something in the network device setup, or is the firewall
interfering?

i don't think you need to set up a dsl device on your linux box. try
deleting that device. the ethernet card should do all the communicating
from your speedstream to your box. the speedstream should do all the
adsl stuff.

after you have only the ethernet device on your linux box, do ifconfig
and see if you've obtained an ip address.


Thanks Anthony,
I think I see what you mean. The router has the username/password for
the ISP account programmed in, so a network device is not needed. This
box is at another location so I won't be able to work on this for a
couple of hours, but will reply later with (good) news.

Just to clarify, or display my ignorance, when a browser requests a
site, the ISP & DNS will be found through /etc/hosts, if not
then /etc/resolv.conf and then to the eth1 device to the router and
beyond?

if you have your linux box set up for dhcp (automatically obtain an
address), for most adsl setups from any isp, the speedstream is set to
be the dns server and the dhcp server--it will give your linux box an ip
address and it will also set the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf

the /etc/hosts file is where your hostname resides, and other hostnames
can be added, but you shouldn't need to touch this file.
