Re: Setting up ADSL?
aptitude install pppoeconf from a debian CD then aptitude update and
aptitude dist-upgrade as soon as you get online. You'll have a choice of
dhclient or dhcpcd packages and pppoeconf installs dhclient. You may find
it helpful to install dhcpcd and do an aptitude remove purge dhclient
though since the most current dhclient package over here drops connections
frequently for no apparent reason I can discover yet. Try setting router
on modem to medium security level then go out to http://www.grc.com and do
the shields up test. If your system comes back as truely stealthed then
you're successful. If not, aptitude install arno-iptables-firewall then
do that shields up test again. That should get you started.
