Hi all
I have some wired difficulties with my adsl setup.
At first I use system-config-network to config my adsl connection (I tried adsl-setup later but the result is somehow the same). It seems working all right and can be set up immediately after been configured. Then during the reboot, the adsl connection failed to be set up for something like a timed out error. (I watched my modem, it was like that no data-like user name or password, was send during the boot-up, it just fell into a loop status for about 30 sec. or more). But I find that I can always manualy start it-through "Network" in "System Settings" or just type "adsl-start" in the console.
I'm confused now, very.
It's like the "network" service whoes job is setting up my network connections won't work out my adsl connection in the init phrase while my another lan interface can be set up smothly.
I now have the "adsl-start" string put in my gnome session's "Startup Programs". This would work, but I know that sounds silly.
Someone give me a better idea?
This isn't the answer you are looking for, but it is a technically better idea nevertheless.
The better idea is for you to find a real Internet provider. Forget all that nonsense and drivel you have to go through with whatever rinky-dinky outfit you are using, with all that userid and password nonsense.
Find a real Internet provider that gives you:
1) Your IP address, your netmask, and your router's IP address. 2) IP addresses of their DNS servers 3) A router or a bridge modem with a plain, garden-variety 10Base-T port.
Then, all you have to do is plug in the cable, and enter the IP addresses into "Network Settings", and you'll be good to go.
