Re: [debian-knoppix] re: connecting to broadband
Hi Donn, Jeff, Bob and others
Thanks for your response.
Previously I have setup broadband connection on RedHat, WinXP, WinME,
etc. without problem.
I use ADSL with dynamic IP and PPP0 connection. I went through many
times on;
Internet -> Connnection -> ADSL/PPPoE config
without problem nor warning indicated.
Network card detected by "PPPoE Access Concentrator"
As ROOT
# plog
no response
# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:203.78.78.29 P-t-P:203.78.85.88
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:64 (64.0 b) TX bytes:97 (97.0 b)
cat /etc/resolv.conf
found the DNS at time of configuration
However I still could not connect to Internet. I tested Mozilla and
Konqueror many times..
Another visible problem;
During exiting Knoppix following warning indicated
" .... can't umount CD please reset" compelling me to reset the PC to
remove the PC
B.Regards
