Re: [debian-knoppix] re: Modem problem



Hi Shawn,

CD: Cluterk Noppix V3.2
=======================

I carried out following test without result, ppp0 connected to ISP but
could not browse Internet.  

I made this test on a machine installed with 2 NICs (this machine), one
for connecting to server (cable not connected yet) and another to
broadband.

BEFORE configuring network card
===============================

root@ttyp0[root]# ip addr

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Configuring Network Card

Knoppix -> Network/Internet -> Network Card Configuration.

IP address:  202.123.68.192
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway:  202.123.71.254 (also tried 202.123.71.32)
(also tried DNCP broadcasting without success)

root@ttyp1[root]# service network restart
-su: service: command not found

root@ttyp1[root]# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces... done.

root@ttyp0[root]# ping www.yahoo.com

===========================
My discovery on this machine is as follow;

[root@localhost root]# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 100
    link/ether 00:50:fc:6c:70:f7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    link/ether 00:50:fc:61:f3:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen
3
    link/ppp
    inet 202.123.68.192 peer 202.123.71.254/32 scope global ppp0

******* eth1 must be as follow;

eth1 must have following indication
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    link/ether 00:50:fc:61:f3:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

********



I also tried to delete all entries on

Knoppix -> Network/Internet -> Network Card Configuration.

IP address:  (delete)
Subnet Mask: (delete)
Gateway:  (delete)

root@ttyp1[root]# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces... done.

root@ttyp0[root]# ping www.yahoo.com
ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
root@ttyp0[root# ping www.yahoo.com
ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com

Still could not connect Internet

root@ttyp0[root]# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    link/ether 00:50:fc:6c:70:f7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    link/ether 00:50:fc:61:f3:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.2.2/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global eth1
4: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen
3
    link/ppp
    inet 202.123.68.192 peer 202.123.71.254/32 scope global ppp0

Remark: I also tried by removing one NIC, also without result.
