DSL connection using Knoppix 6
Hi,
I understand it would be better to use a router instead of a DSL modem with no built-in router.
But until then, can anyone pls give some support for setting up a working DSL connection (PPPoE) to the Internet using Knoppix 6.0.1 (based on Microknoppix, on CD) and a cable DSL modem?!
I just don't get to manage it successfully, because I am not quite sure whether to do some extra configuring (e.g., adding username and password in files such as /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider, /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/peers/pap-secrets and so on), or to set up the connection exclusively via GUI/menu structure.
Knoppix has detected my netcard device (SiS 900) as eth0. Problem is, under "network connections" there is a default connection for eth0 called lfupdown (or ifupdown) ("never", under "wired/cable-bound"), which cannot be removed (an error message appears). I suppose I'd rather have to go to "DSL" and enter my username and password for my ISP there. Entering "netcardconfig" and then choosing "manually configuring an IP address" works fine, a connection is established soon afterwards but no remote host can be reached/no website can be accessed then, because only the lfupdown (or ifupdown) connection for eth0 has been established, but not the DSL connection.
Adding to my confusion is what role the ISDN tool, imon, isdnutils etc. play in all this, or can I just ignore them?
Entering "pppoe conf" brings about either unidentifiable character strings, or something like "Timeout: waiting for PADS packets".
Can anyone give some advice?
Thanks.
