Re: Config ADSL

Hi Alexander (and anyone that has some insight into this problem),

Thanks for your help so far.

The files:

/etc/hosts

and

/etc/resolv.conf

are configured correctly.

The connection still fails, so I have included my routing table for you to see, if it helps:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
165.165.128.1__0.0.0.0________255.255.255.255__UH__0__0__0__ppp0
192.168.1.0____192.168.1.10___255.255.255.0____UG__0__0__0__eth0
192.168.1.0____0.0.0.0________255.255.255.0____U___0__0__0__eth0
169.254.0.0____0.0.0.0________255.255.0.0______U___0__0__0__eth0
127.0.0.0______0.0.0.0________255.0.0.0________U___0__0__0__lo
0.0.0.0________192.168.1.254__0.0.0.0__________UG__0__0__0__eth0

(underscores for legibility purposes ;-P )

You have 2 default gateways assigned, and both are on the local LAN
You must remove the default gateways and allow the DSL connection to set that up for you.

look in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and remove them

The ADSL's IP is 192.168.1.254, host machine eth0 static IP is 192.168.1.10.

I've also set ppp0 as a trusted device in firewall setup if that changes anything.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Stuart

Hi Fedorans.

Hmmm... I need some insight to solve this one.

I've set up a FC1 box to access the web through an ADSL device on a UTP n=

etwork (ie not USB config).

I can ping DHCP-assigned IP 165.165.144.130 say.
I can ping P-t-P addr 165.165.128.1 (gateway?) with mask 255.255.255.255

So the device setup and the routes seem to fit.

I can't ping DNS 196.25.1.11 say, Ctrl-C shows packet loss.

That has not to say much. ping is not the almighty tool much people take
it for.

$ ping 196.25.1.11
PING 196.25.1.11 (196.25.1.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
=46rom 196.43.11.41 icmp_seq=3D4 Packet filtered
=46rom 196.43.11.41 icmp_seq=3D5 Packet filtered

You easily see, the filter ICMP.

I can't ping canonical names www.cnn.com say, Ctrl-C doesn't even report =

a response.

www.cnn.com filters ICMP packages too. So a ping has to show you 100%
package loss.

=46rom www.mit.edu I get ping replies. So try that target.

I've added all sorts of combinations and permutations with 'route add', a=

lack.

It seems as though the further one moves away from the low level function=

ality, the less name resolving etc one 'sees'.

I've this going before, but can't remember how.
I am aware of the naming issue in the 'Internet Connection Wizard', where=

one has to enter 'ppp0' as the provider name.

Any insight is appreciated.

Check the output of "route", the default route has to point to the ppp
device.
Check the settings in /etc/resolv.conf to have valid nameserver entries
(take the DNS server from your ISP).
Check /etc/hosts file to have the line for name resolution for
localhost: 127.0.0.1.
