Arch Linux

bOOyah · 2003-10-18 21:26:48

Hello,

i've installed arch linux for the frist time (0.5 iso) and everything went very will (i'm very impressed).

unfortunately I can't get my dsl running.

I've installed a Realtek 8139 and add it to the modul.conf.

Furthermore I've completed the following steps:

-adsl-setup
- removed the gateway

when i start with adsl-start I get a time-out. when I cat the /var/log/messages I get two ip-adresses (remote and something a can't remember) even if I plug-off the network cable.

I won't call me a linux-newbie, cause I installed already several distros (mandrake, suse, redhat, debian), but with these distros the dsl-configuration went quite well so i'm at a loss, what to do.

Can you please help me?

Thanks a lot for your help!

well did you install the rp-pppoe package or did you install rp-pppoe form source?

if you installed the package from arch i think all that you need to do is do your adsl-setup then start the daemon via (as root):

/etc/rc.d/adsl start

if you still have trouble please post any errors here.

Hi sahra31,

i did install rp-pppoe from package.

I configured my connection with adsl-setup and started the demon, but it doesn't work.

but here are the outputs form ifconfig, route, rc.conf, etc. Maybe it will help to find the failure....

Furthermore i configure my connection with the options server (dns) and 0 (question about masquarading/firewall)

Try to check /etc/ppp/options. You should have at least something like:

user XXXXXXXXXX
usepeerdns
noipdefault
defaultroute
noauth

What outputs do you get in /var/log/messages?

bOOyah · 2003-10-19 17:07:43

Hi,

here are my configuration files. I don't know, why it doesn't work.

Do I really need the ppp/options and the pppoe.conf file?

Furthermore I always get the same local ip (10.64.64.64) and remote ip (10.112.112.112).

Thanks for you help in advance.

what adsl hardware do you have?

if you have something like this:
--------------------------------
[computer]-[network-card]-[hub/switch or crossed cable]-[adsl-router/+modem]->[internet]

then you do not have to specify anything on your computer for adsl: just set in rc.conf

eth0="dhcp"

the gateway you should keep removed

if you have something like this:
--------------------------------
[computer]-[adsl-router/+modem]->[internet]

then then you have to play around with adsl-config on the computer

--- but as you said, you activated a network-card in modules.conf, i think you have the first case

sarah31 · 2003-10-19 17:23:23

i see a fews possible issues.

first is your userid it is not in standard userid format for dsl. normally userids are <userid>@yourisp.com (for example)

Second, you have not entered any nameservers. even if you were connecting your would have issues there.

your eth0 ips are wrong. you should either have none or they should reflect the ipd provided by your isp.

if your adsl is providing your info via dhcp then you rc.conf is wrong.

again i state these may be possible issues not for sure issues as the only dsl service i really know is my own and what works with it.

orelien · 2003-10-19 20:08:38

There's something curious with your ppp interfaces.
Kernel routing tables mentions ppp1 as the default route, whereas /var/log/messages are showing ppp is using ppp0...

From /var/log/messages, it seems the problem is related with the default route used to access the server (the server should have sent 2 DNS addresses during the negociation).

When I'm running pppd, I've got some additional lines than in yours:

Oct 19 18:46:23 pokemon pppd[200]: Remote message: CHAP authentication success, unit 1165
Oct 19 18:46:23 pokemon pppd[200]: local  IP address A.B.C.D
Oct 19 18:46:23 pokemon pppd[200]: remote IP address E.F.G.H
Oct 19 18:46:23 pokemon pppd[200]: primary   DNS address I.J.K.L
Oct 19 18:46:23 pokemon pppd[200]: secondary DNS address M.N.O.P

Did you correctly filled /etc/ppp/chap-secrets or /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (pap or chap: it depends on your ISP)?

You could also try to run adsl-start in debug mode, by issuing:

export DEBUG=1

before running adsl-start. It will generate a /tmp/pppoe-debug file.

From my point of view, the configuration looks fine but, you could try to use a minimalistic one, as for example:

#
# /etc/ppp/options
#
user XYZ
usepeerdns
noipdefault
defaultroute
noauth

Hi,

I finally got dsl running.

I've changed two things:

1. changed the ip-address from eth0

2. I added a blank option file to /etc/ppp. I've read that somewhere else.

I just have to figure out, where the problem was, I suppose it is the empty option file.

@orelien the mention ppp1 results of a second start of pppoe.

Thanks @all, for your help....

You rock!!! I've been trying to get online with Arch for EVER.... That does the trick... I never have this prob with any other distro.... I'm stumped still..... Oh well...... It works and I don't care now... :twisted:
Thanks again!!!

because by default arch's ppp/options file is not empty. in most other distros it is and in most cases dsl connection do not like this file to be populated.

sarah31 · 2004-02-13 05:32:41

fwiw i do think that commenting/erasing uncommneted entries in options is mentioned on the rp-pppoe web site. i know i saw it somewhere before. i seem to remember having this problem before with debain or libranet and this worked. i had completely forgotten about this though when i commented earlier in this thread.
