Hi,
I just got my VDSL modem, (Japanese Hikari Fiber from NTT)
I cannot get a connection through it.
I can connect fine to wireless networks of neighbors(for testing only!)
I type:
sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
and the error I get is:
Error, eth0: timed out
Warning, eth0: using IPV4LL address 169.254.9.111
when I run:
sudo dhcpcd eth0
I get:
vladuz ~ $ sudo dhcpcd eth0
Error, eth0: timed out
Warning, eth0: using IPV4LL address 169.254.9.111
I tried stopping,starting, restarting /etc/rc.d/network, didn't do anything.
I tried killing dhcpcd on eth0 with "sudo dhcpcd eth0 -k" and restarting it, but nothing, still same error.
when I ping the IP in the error output I get a connection:
vladuz ~ $ ping 169.254.9.111
PING 169.254.9.111 (169.254.9.111) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 169.254.9.111: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms
ifconfig eth0 returns this:
vladuz ~ $ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:A9:A7:F8:2B

By the way I am directly connecting to the modem, no router inbetween, if that makes any difference.
Can anybody please help me troubleshoot this?
Thank you,

Perhaps you have to connect to the modem with a crossover cable assuming it is rj45.
Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!

When ALL is lost, what can be found? Even bytes get lonely for a little bit! X-ray confirms Iam spineless!

Another solution is to use a hub in between which eliminates the need for a crossover cable.

Are you sure you're meant to use DHCP? I don't know about VDSL specifically, but regular DSL usually requires PPPOE.
