At last, its found my modem...but...
Well i finally got RedHat to find my usb ADSl modem,
But now i have no throughput i used pppd call adsl or what-not and all seems good, i check ifconfig ppp0 and i get a listing of connection info but all the values are at 0 as i cant send/recieve anything i cant ping either, Does anyone have any ideas? (Will my ISP (BT) give any supprt for linux?) |

hi, it was a tutorial like that (pretty much exactly the same) that i've been using, its all been good so far - lile getting the modem to actaully be reconised and setting up ppp
its just connecting now, everything seems to work fine, i type pppd call adsl and it all seems good then i type ifconfig ppp0 to check connection status and everything stays blank, like im not connected at all Got no throughhput at all, no pages/pings etc.. Dont have a clue what to do |

I clueless about that modem, but did you remember to set up DNS to point to your isp's DNS servers? It's easy to forget.

i added a line to a file, which i believed to sort out that problem
something in the etc/ppp/peers/options file i THINK, i cant remember exactly as i've tried so much Im gonna jot down yahoo's ip and try pinging that, fingers crossed, I tried something eariler, opening another command and used tail -f /var/log/messages which shoed me some interesting things about when i connected, i'll c/paste it in here soon (having to swap between 2 computers all the time) |
