Thank you for your help however I do have the knowledge required to test
local connection etc. We do not use modem at all, I connect to my ICP
using cat5 cable (with rj45) directly, and the ICP ask us to login by
PPPoE. In this mode it's clearly written in the manual (SuSE reference
manual) that I should setup a dummy address (actually any IP address
will do) and make sure default route is empty, and again this is exactly
what the ICP support staff told me (just like the manual told me).
Again, there is no ip address for the modem to access and there is no
modem at all (besides even if I have a modem, it must be in route
(rather then 'bridge') mode to accept TCP connection). And I also tested
with two computers to make sure at least LAN works (e.g. setup another
computer with 192.168.22.100 and ping each other. Again, the router I
bought works, meaning my eithernet card works. Again, the support staff
come to my home only to show me that they can connect with their Windows
notebook, and leave with "wish you good luck".
Any closer help very much needed, thank you all!
