OK if there's anybody who knows how to set up a DSL connection on Linux, please answer. I have been trying since April 26th and many problems have been fixed. My ISP blames the phone company, the phone company says the lines are fixed and that the last outstanding order was cancelled today. Fine. I found a loose connection myself today and now the ADSL modem actually gets a reliable link to the host, ... flashing green DSL LINK light turns solidly lit! Both LAN lights on! I still get no connection when I try to activate. 1. Could the firewall be blocking the service?...SE Linux is active. 2. Do I have to set netmasks and so on, because my system fails to obtain IP information for eth0. That is probably the main problem. I'm guessing, but if the eth0 isn't working how can anything connected to it connect?... Right??!! -- Regards, Fred Williams <unclefred [ at ] fredwilliams [ dot ] ca> <http://www.fredwilliams.ca>
