PPPoE problem

garnie · Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2005 6:39 pm Post subject: PPPoE problem

Sitting here and are trying to install my new laptop

I used "adsl-setup" on the live cd and it worked just fine
so i booted up and did the adsl-setup and start but i get TIMED OUT all the time

in my /etc/conf.d/net i have the "Config_eth0=("adsl")

and at startup it finds my network card and defines as eth0

emerge rp-pppoe and took the pppoe when i compiled the kernel

so i can't really understand whats wrong . . but perhaps some of you can

?

What type of modem are you using? Some of those modems can act as a mini switch and try to hand out an IP based off of dhcp. I know this isn't the best solution, but if you don't mind letting the modem handle the dialing, I'd do it this way. You'd just need to set the interface to dhcp. Then take a web browser and go to to the modem's address (it varies per manurfacturer) and change the modem to bridged ethernet (note, i might have this term backwards, i can never remember). This will allow your modem to handle the dialing.

As far as a direct solution to your problem, I'm not sure I can help you =(

Well the most weird part is that its working flawless on the live cd (on amd64 btw) where i just ran adsl-setup and defined what was needed and it worked. been working with this for hours so i am pretty lost in whats happening :/

For you kernel config you should have the following...

Device Drivers -> Networking support ->

<*> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
[*] PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[ ] PPP filtering
<*> PPP support for async serial ports
< > PPP support for sync tty ports
< > PPP Deflate compression
< > PPP BSD-Compress compression
<*> PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)

I had exactly the same problem, but setting kernel options to this:
