ADSL connection.

**Ganon_Dwarf** · 05-15-2004, 02:13 PM

I recently downloaded Knoppix and (currently) run it from the live CD, I am greatly satisfied in all things but one, I can't connect to the internet (I am currently using Windows to do so.) I have run every single internet connection setup (just to be sure I wasn't using the wrong one) several times, when prompted I tell it to connect (after the ADSL setup), but Mozilla simply says "host not found" or "cannot find www.google.ca", any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Double posting is probably not encouraged, but I want to get some more attnetion to this and update it. 1.when I use "pon" it comes up with the mesage "cannot access "/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider":acess denied" (or something along those lines.) I have typed "chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppoe" so I should be able to do this, no? Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a file dsl-provider?
Can you cat it?

cat /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider

try
sudo pon
or
sudo pon dsl-provider

Well, thanks for all your help, but I tried those and when they didn't work I managed to contact a friend of a friend of mine, turns out Knoppix can't locate my network card. (An Intel pro/100 VE)... So, I guess I can't use the internet and Knoppix. Is there a way to make Knoppix detect it? and if so, how?

First, I would test for the card with lspci, assuming it is a pci-card; here is my output (reduced to the interesting eth-card:

Code:

lspci
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

If your card is found, you may look for an matching module with 'lsmod', but perhaps it isn't a module, but build into the kernel. Google for your Intel VE with 'module' - I found something which says the module-name is 'e100' so you could do 'modprobe e100'.

A third step is to look for it by ifconfig, here is my output:

Code:

ifconfig eth0
eth0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 01:01:46:5A:9A:1E  
          inet Adresse:192.168.0.3  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Maske:255.255.255.0
          inet6 Adresse: ...
