ADSL Setup

Hi All,
I have just configure an ADSL interface on a router to dynamically connect to BT network for internet connection.
Below is my running config:
interface ATM0/1/0
no ip address
no atm ilmi-keepalive
dsl operating-mode auto
pvc 0/38
dialer pool-member 1
protocol ppp dialer
interface Dialer1
description ADSL Interface
ip address DHCP
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
ppp chap hostname xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ppp chap password xxxxxxxxxxx
ppp pap sent-username xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Question:
1. Please How do I configure my Dialer1 interface to automatically request a DNS from the BT network?
2. Which do I need to configure on my Dialer1 interface, is it "ip address DHCP" or "ip address negociated"
3. Do I need to configure an "ip nat pool"?
Cheers!

Thanks Lejoe,
Finally I can ping the internet from my router (i.e ping www.yahoo.com). But I can NOT browse from my internal network, which is connected to the interface f0/0
Please do I need a static NATing? or what can I do to be able to browse the net from my LAN?
Below is my running config:

ADSL setup instructions for byo modem models

Before you begin setting up your modem, make sure you've received an email from us confirming your username and password.
Step 1
Your modem needs to be connected to your phone line, computer and power according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you are connecting your modem using USB rather than Ethernet, make sure you have installed the correct USB drivers BEFORE you connect the modem to your PC. (The USB drivers should be on the original modem installation CD and the manufacturer's website.)
Step 2
For your modem to work without interference from your telephone equipment, you need to install a filter on each telephone device that shares your ADSL line. Follow the instructions included in your welcome pack. Note that your filters may look different from the ones shown, but they should still work in the same way. If you need to purchase additional filters, visit your local Telstra shop or a modem retailer.
Step 3
Synchronisation shows that your phone line is connected to the ADSL equipment in your exchange. If your modem can't achieve Line Sync, you won't be able to connect to the internet. Most modems indicate Line Sync with a light marked SYNC, ADSL, WAN, or LINK. A flashing light normally indicates no sync or a current attempt to sync, while a solid light indicates a successful Line Sync. Check your modem's user guide for its specific Line Sync indication. It can take up to 60 seconds for a modem to achieve Line Sync. If you're not achieving Line Sync, check that you've installed your filters correctly and reboot your modem by turning the power off, waiting five seconds or so, then turning it back on again.
Step 4
Your modem should come with an installation CD. Many manufacturers even provide installation wizards specifically for logging on to BigPond. So it's always available to run the CD. If you can't connect to the internet (and you definitely have Line Sync), check that you've entered your username and password correctly. Your username must be entered in the format "username@bigpond". Your password is case sensitive, and must be entered exactly as provided in your email from BigPond. If you still can't connect, check the manufacturer's website or call them for support.
Advanced setup
Step 1
As long as you have an Ethernet or USB connection between your PC and the modem, you should be able to gain access to the modem's configuration manager. Remember, for USB to work you must have installed the USB drivers from your installation CD or the manufacturer's website before you connect the modem. Most modems have configuration web pages included within them. To access this page, open your web browser and type the IP Address in the address line and press Enter.
Step 2
Decide whether you want to run your modem in Router or Bridge mode. This is the configuration mode recommended by BigPond, and the majority of modems will default to this mode.
Router Mode is sometimes referred to as PPPoA mode. In this mode, the modem is responsible for authentication rather than the PC. With your modem set up in Router Mode, you won't need to log in to BigPond on each PC. As long you connect a PC that can get an IP Address, it will automatically have internet access. The diagram below shows how router mode works.
Bridge Mode is sometimes referred to as PPPoE mode. If your modem is a low-end USB-only device, then it can probably only work as a bridge (and not as a router). In this mode, connecting to BigPond involves clicking a desktop icon, then entering your username and password manually.
In Windows XP, you'll use the built-in Network Connections Setup
In other systems (Win 98, ME, 2000), you'll use the Enternet Client.
You'll then receive a public IP address from BigPond. Both connection types (XP PPPoE and Enternet) can be set-up from the install menu on the Installation CD that came with your Kit. If you connect more than one computer to a bridge mode modem, you'll only be able to log on from one computer at a time unless you register for sub-accounts.
Step 3
You don't have to find and check every setting, as many modems will either default to the correct settings or detect the required settings automatically. Be aware that the terms used sometimes vary.

It doesn't address what I needed help with
I have a byo modem router, Netgear 6200. Both ethernet connected and wifi services are unacceptably slow. Same performance on the previous Telstra modem before it busted.
During troubleshooting, there is a link to a "full list of certified modems", approved by Telstra. When clicking the link it bring me here, so troubleshooting on how to set up a byo modem. There was no problem setting up my modem in the first place, I just wanted to see this list Telstra had of approved devices and there's nothing here. So no, this was not helpful as it does not address at all what I needed help with.

ADSL connection very slow last few days

I have also been having the same issue, and have never had slow internet speeds before these last few days.
I've tried resetting the hub a few times but that has made no difference.
I have also tried the BT speed test website but get an error after a minute or so stating that the test could be run, but it does not give a reason. I have in the past used this service without issue.
Any thoughts welcome.

Hi ecm200,
The first thing I've noticed from your router stats is the connection time??
Did you just reset the router before you posted them, has the connection been dropping or do you turn the router off when your not using the Internet?
The last 2 points above will cause the speed to drop as the BT Server will see the dropping connection and reduce the speed to maintain a more stable connection.
The second thing I noticed was the Noise margin (15.8dB). This is slightly higher than normal (the best SNR Margin would be 6dB). This may be caused by the location of the router in your house. If you have the router connected to an extension socket, you should move the hub to the Master/Test socket and see what the speed is here.
Have a look at the following link for more info on this:
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13892/c/346
Obviously, you will need to be able to check the stats from the hub and moving a desktop PC may be troublesome so if you can either can connect wirelessly, or on a laptop with an Ethernet cable, you will be able to see the stats again.
If the speed is still poor, or the Noise Margin still as high as you have posted, you need to raise the fault with BT.
This is the link to email BT Tech Support and you have more chance of speaking to someone in the UK:

Xserver Will not allow me to login As Admin or Root locally

Hi all,
I am a regular reader of this wonderful forum but tend to shy away from discussions as I think a lot of you out there are a lot more unix knowledgable than I. I tend to do as much as I can in the GUI only.
After working on many cust. Xservers.
I have recently decided to upgrade our own little office Xserver from a PM G4 to a Mac Mini Intel running 10.4.10 Xserver.
We use this machine as our live lab learning unit to ensure we don't stuff up our client
I normally follow the usual method of setup for a small office Xserver to be used for Web, Mail & File services:-
1. I installing OS Xserver - no services running
2. Then Update to 10.4.10 latest updates etc,
3. Configured dns correctly for registered domain & test fwd & rev lookup working OK.
4. Setup DHCP ok. tested dns working okfrom DHCP bound client.
5. Premoted server to Open Directory Master OK. Kerberos running OK.
6. In this instance I restored Open Directory master from previous working 10.4.10 Xserver PM G4 Open Dir Archive, Restarted server.
Now it gets to login screen but the login screen is frozen for about 10-15 minutes & won't let me type anything in.
Logged Backin as admin get the spinning wheel of death indefinately.
Force Restart the Xserver
Wait 10-15minutes
Login as root.
Noticed kerberos not running anymore.
Demote to standalone then back to Open directory master but problem still occurs after every restart.
Can any one please tell me what I have done incorrectly & how to fix without reinstalling from scratch?
Thankyou
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Tony,
I tried without network cable before posting, this did not help. Also tried on test network router.
However. I think I have fixed part of the problem.
I deselected the Enable SSL in the SA OD LDAP protocol area (not sure why this was on or whether it is the default setting when you promote to OD master).
Restarted the server.
It now boots quickly & allows me to log in OK.
I then Reset all the LDAP users passwords for OD OK in WGM. Just to make sure.
Restarted the server. Tested All services OK. Ie. Web, Mail, AFP etc.
Wa Hoo!
Came back to add additional user in WGM & now get error:-
"Error of type eDSAuthFailed (-14090) on line 1922 of /SourceCache/ServerManagerUserGeneral/ServerManagerUserGeneral-193.3.2/"
Doh! One step fwd three back.
I do have familiarity with Terminal but tend to avoid using it to try & keep the server as close to Apple out of the box STD as possible to avoid headaches when they update their software.
All services are still running in OD.
In regards to your Questions.
Yes. Keberos realm automatically appeared when I promoted to OD master. As I understand it this tells you your DNS is functioning correctly.
Yes. The diradmin user appears in WGM under ldap.
Yes It is the only server on network.
I normally setup a server on a lab test router /ADSL setup away from anything else to ensure I am not chasing my tail when configuring a new setup.
PS I am slowly getting better at the terminal but because I don't use it that often I keep forgetting the cmds. This is what happens when you run Macs. They hardly ever screw up.
Hoping you can help with the above error as I would really like to learn to repair these issues instead of reinstalling everytime I screw up.
Thank you for your help

Separating Internet From Time Capsule

Until recently I have run an ADSL setup with my modem connected to my time capsule which then acted as the wireless hub for my computers. This work fine... I had internet access and network access in one. I have now connected cable internet but my cable outlet is not near the time capsule so I have connected a wireless modem. The problem I now have is that I have to switch between the two networks. One to access the internet and one to access my printers and files stored on the TC. Firstly, I hope this make sense to someone and secondly, does anyone know if there is a way to make the TC recognise my wireless modem.
Note: As I have two large printers attached to the TC it is not feasible to relocate the TC to the modem

When you mention that you reinstalled with the IP addresses, this hints that these devices are network printers that are connected to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule, correct?
I mentioned in my previous post that the Time Capsule only becomes a wireless backup device when it is configured to "join" a wireless network. It performs no routing functions at all, so the ethernet ports on the TC are not active in this type of setup.
Sorry, I would have mentioned that the ethernet ports are not active in the "join" setup if I had known that you were planning to use network printers, but this information was not presented at the time. The USB port is still active and might be an angle for you, but this type of setup only allows printing, so if you have an all-in-one type device, only the print function will be supported if the device is compatible with the Time Capsule.
Ironically, the AirPort Express 802.11"n" version has the ability to "join" a wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled on the device. That would unfortunately mean another device was needed for your network if you need "remote" printing capabilities.
Might you have the ability to connect your main router to the Time Capsule using an ethernet connection? This would allow the Time Capsule to function as a switch, so the ethernet ports would be active in this type of setup.

Problem with the network

sorry for my inglish :oops:
1.- i install the base system and then rp-pppoe
2.- run adsl-setup and the user name, passwd
3.- i try adsl-start but time out
4.- try modprobe 8139too but time out agin
what i can do ????
the version is arch0.5.

im using 0.5 because i don´t have enouth time for download the last version
about the problem, add that in rc.conf, "8139too", and "alias eth0 8139too" in modules.conf, but, nothing hapend
the time outis when try with "adsl-start", if try with "/etc/rc.d/adsl start" then BUSY, "/etc/rc.d/adsl stop" FAILED.
only with gentoo(give up) and now arch happend this problem :?

Dual NIC Issues

I am trying to run my Arch computer as a router to allow another computer on my home network to use the internet (probably using IP Masq.) The issue is that when I plug in two nics into my computer my ADSL connection will connect but I will not be able to go anywhere on the Internet and when I plug my cat5 cable going to the other computer no lights come on the nic. Yet when I plug in the DSL cat5 cable (into the alternate nic) the lights come on solid and I can longer even dial after running adsl-setup again.
Taking a quick look at ifconfig it seemed that both cards were working and so was my ADSL connection. So I turned of the nic I wasn't using, disconnected my ADSL connection and tried again. Again it connected but I couldn't go anywhere. I then ran hwd -s and found that though it saw my two cards their aliases at the end were both eth but I when then ran ifconfig it was clear that both an eth0 and 1 existed.
Please help anyone I am so confused.

Thanks everyone,
I have the two nics coexisting now and I am trying my best now to figure out how to get the computer my client computer on the net. SO far I have my eth1 and eth0 cards routed and I have setup a gateway for the client and assigned it an IP address (keep in mind the client is an ugly WIN 2000 NT MAchine :x ). I have my Masq firewall setup but I am stuck until I can figure out more.

Live CD for newbies and dial up users

From comments I am receiving abut the usage of AL-AMLUG Live CD, it helps newbies to install the native Arch Linux in HDD. Without any "headage" it does all the major configures (X, sound, network, and LILO) for you. The "hd-install" includes Hwd (hardware detect) and net-install with DHCP & ADSL setup.
Does sounds good for a newbie? Anything good also include a "but...". Disadvantage with hd-install, in my opinion, you will miss the learning of Arch Linux's configure system what you may need for post configure of new hardwares and programs..... sooner or later you have to become an Archer
The live CD is also for the "dial up users" with 56k modems, when the packages in Arch Linux's latest installer CD getting outdated. Example, AL 0.5 was released July 21, 2003. The current live CD 0.4.2 with the base, KDE and common packages updated on February 12, 2004.
http://amlug.net/new-projects/live-cd/p … list-0.4.2
GNOME users may not be happy. For your information, there is still 280MB space on the live CD for more packages. Total space: 1.3GB (compressed to 700MB).

beniro,
after week of not even touching this thread i still have to say that i fail to see what is derogatory in my comments. derrogatory is where you put down something for the sake of putting something down. i hardly ever do something like that. i may be blunt but hardly ever derrogatory.
look in the mirror? i have done that alot i have looked in the mirror i have tried to understand the way some people came to the conclusioned they did about me. perhaps i a m blind or stupid but when have i ever not tried to get something positive for the community? when i look in that mirro i see someone who put alot of time and effort into helping the community with problems. i see somebody that where ever they have gone always express what they feel despite what blowback may happen. i don't believe in bottling things up. in the end though all people see is the negative.
nifan,
there are lots of ways to help a friend out installling any distro. but in the end if you don't know the guts then expect things to go bad at some point. linux is not designed for someone who just wants the computer to do everything. indeed if linux were like that then there would be a whole host of security risks presented.
as for me slamming arch. well if you didn't notice i having only been too willing to always air out arch's dirty laundry. i have been harping on the documentation and so have many others. should those others move on too while the developers/community continue to bury their heads in the sand and feel they can keep marching on? if somebody didn't do who would and where would arch be then?
i am here EVERYDAY. EVERYDAY since i joined this forum. i have asked and answered questions, i contributed on the irc channel, i worked for the distro everyday for almiost a year. i know what was going what went on. i still point out some thigns to aid the developers. in the end my view of kiss never really strayed from the documented version of arch's kiss statement and i felt arch had and was continuing to. there were just too many small things that bothered me and i decided to use another distro.
now that i have moved on though i needed something to keep my desire to help occupied and crux does not have a forum nor can i help out that much on irc because it is distro mainly used by europeans and our clock are just not synced. i still know arch fiarly well and actually crux is very similar so why not help. i have nothing against the community.
why do i get bitter then. well to beat dead horse. i try to help or try to voice an opinion and the response i commonly get back a tirade against my person. now it is at the point now where some people do not or refuse to see any constructive or helpful posts i make here. take al ook at rasat he is someone who has been the victim of many a criticism from me and he never once made any insults towards me nor did he ever not put the blinders on to what i was saying. after nearly a year of taking the odd jab from me he still knows exactly why make the comments towards his projects i do.
in the end i don't really care what he does as his work does bring people to the arch community. i just try and make sure that he can design his projects in such a way as to not create a pile of mindless users that need their hand held through everything. from what i remember of early versions of hwd for example he made it still a very hands on approach for the user. ultimately that is what i wanted him to hear and he did.
if you don't think that the system taking control of your work environment is a burden on the community take a look at just how much help we need to give here and on the mail list. if people had come from a more hands on environment they would rarely have to use irc, forums or mail lists. linux is hard to get used to because it is desigened to be hands on sytem and anyone who does not want this should really not be using it. thats mean but true. with ease comes security risks.
belive me i am lazy i came from the least hands on distro before arch and i would NEVER go back to distro not like arch or crux or ... i have learned alot and there is very few issues i cannot figure out. arch's kiss approach taught me alot and crux has brought me back to it.
in the end i am here to help and if you doubt that then well you just should not bother with any of my posts because i WILL piss you off eventually whether i am trying to or not.

Rp-pppoe 3.7: can't connect anymore

hi,
I just updated rp-pppoe from 3.5 to 3.7, but now I can't go online with arch anymore and have to use windows
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf was moved to /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf.pacsave. I tried to run adsl-setup again for the new files, but adsl-setup is gone. Then I tried the .pacsave file, but it doesn't work.
I tried to run pppoe-setup to configure pppoe new, but it tells me to install ppp >= 2.3, but I already have the latest version of ppp (2.4.3) installed.
can anyone help me with this?
greets,
baze

Just create symbolic link (under root):
ln -s /usr/sbin/pppd /sbin/pppd
It's solve for me same problem after upgrade.

BT Infinity Installation question

Hi Everyone,
I have placed my order with BT for BT Infinity to be installed on the 18th December. The sales guy was very helpfull but I am not sure he understood my current ADSL setup. I signed upto to BT Internet many many years ago when they giving out the green stingray usb modems. The main telephone socket is at the from of the house in the hallway. My office is upstairs directly above. The BT engineer ran a extension upstairs around the staircase and put a RJ11 socket on the wall in the office. This has worked very well for over 10 years. The sales guy said the BT HH5 must be plugged into the main telephone socket. I explained that was not ideal as I have my pc upstairs. I also have some powerline adapters to bring the network down into the living room to provide internet and streaming films to my consoles and sky box. He was not sure if the existing extension would be good enough for infinity. At the phone phone its a CAT5 connector that terminates to a RJ11 socket looking at the connector there is only one pair connected at the moment. I would rather the current cable was not removed as its been painted over some parts. Would it be possible for the cable to be reused by putting a new socket on at the RJ11 end. After seeing the ports on the BT HH5 that infinity uses CAT 5 connections. Would it be possible to use another pair of powerline adapters to take infinity upstairs?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Ben

Speak to the engineer when he/she arrives. The engineer should be able to place a master socket where you want it or convert your extension to become your master socket and connect the Homehub 5 to that. If that is upstairs in your office that should not be a problem. If you want to continue using powerline adaptors, again that should not be a problem.
If you get a contractor installer it could be that requesting the above is met with a blank stare or a "computer says no" moment. If that is the case it may be best to stop the installation and ask that an Openreach engineer is arranged to do your install because if it is not wired up correctly it will impact on your speeds.
You might want to consider calling BT prior to the installation and suggest that they arrange an Openreach engineer for the installation.

No Airport connection

My wireless connection worked (through D-Link) fine until I did a software update for Airport. Now when I Turn Airport On, all the bars darken and my Network name scrolls. Then when I open Safari I get the message "can't find the server".
Please help!!

I also don't see the time connected anymore, but I haven't assigned myself a static address. My AEBS is conntect via Ethernet to my VDSL modem/router. The VDSL device is operating in bridged mode. Since it does not need to login to my ISP, the AEBS is no longer running PPPoE -- it was when I had ADSL and an ADSL modem/router. The AEBS is assigning IP addresses, not the VDSL modem/router. I am connected wirelessly to the AEBS (802.11n draft).
The time connected used to appear when I had ADSL. The only difference between the ADSL setup and the VDSL setup is PPPoE. I can confirm that the AEBS is regularly reassigning my MacBook Pro new IP addresses.

New install post/upgrade xorgproblem

I am having trouble getting acceptible xorgconfig. Following same in SLW10.1 and FrugalW I setup mouse with Auto (or IMPS/2) as dev/input/mouse (or mice) with ZaxisMapping "4 5" and Buttons "5"and SendCoreEvents "true" then did ususal nv setup but get fatal errors. Getting errors with 2.6.10 and with new upgrade kernel. Get question re do I have latest xorg? And corepointer could not be found. Am I supposed to rerun Arch setup after new kernel. (Forgot to edit pacman file to exclude kernel upgrade) FW kernel upgrade didn't affect anything else. Nor did SLW kernel upgrade.
This is my 1st Arch install and I was pleasantly surprised to boot to login prompt. Kde was installed and startx is ready for it. So I am sure there is a reasonable fix to this xorg problem.
Bootup says pppoe-ko and sis900 modules failed. Sis900 is for pci fast ethernet on mob. But adsl-setup worked anyway. I am not on network so having adsl-start working is great. And need to find out how to setup scsi zip drive. New kernel was better at listing it and the drive makes normal noises during boot up.
Mouse is usb/ps2 MS IntelliEye with scroll wheel. Video card is Asustek Geforce4 ti4200 with 128mb ram. Monitor is Sony hmda240 17 in crt. Mob is Asus P4s800 with p4 2800mhz cpu. Pci snd card is turtleBeach with aurealvortex2 chip. Pci scsi card is Diamond fast20/40 card with LSi Symbios5cr8xx chip. sorry for typos. Thanx. :?

Main problem seems to be Mouse1-cannot open mouse and failed to initialize core devices. /etc rc.conf has usbserial,mii(for Sis900) and usbcore modules. Driver is mouse. Protocol is Auto or IMPS/2 and using /dev/input/mouse or mice.
And lspci is showing unknown vga compatible card(Nvidia Corp) at 01:00.0. Xorg finally not showing vertical refresh errors. Seems I would input correct range for horiz. and vert. refresh rates but file would show no entry or different entry. Some other unknown devices ide, isa controller(Sis) but usb controllers(Sis) were listed fine.
I must say before kernel upgrade I did get black and white desktop with 3 bash terminals but with mouse activity. Maybe I can roll it back. How?
