Hello,
how do I connect to Internet using this type of ADSL modem - Alcatel SppedTouch Home LAN? Well, this one quite sucks you can say... Thats right, but my isp is still using annex a format on our local loop, so I cannot use any newer modems. All are annex b (like zyxels). In that case, I would have 4 port router, just plug-in, let it assign me ip with dhcp and roll...
I googled and searched forums, but didn't find anything of use (many HOWTOS etc, but noting worked...). I found /etc/ppp/peers type of scripts even for this type of modem, but it was usb variant. I have lan variant.

I am using SppedTouch 530 via ethernet and I have no problem.
What is your problem?

Hi,
I don't know exactly what my problem is, because I have no experience with PPPoA stuff in linux. All I know is that I have my eth0 device working fine (connecting via DHCP thru m$ win box with ICS works) - I can browse web and so... How do I connect right thru adsl modem?
I still have no idea how it should work... There's some /etc/ppp/peers script. It's used like ppp call script-name, right? But what to put inside? Nothing I found worked.
ISP specific (GTS Novera):
Encapsulation: PPPoA
Multiplex: VC
VCI/VPI: 48/4
ATM QoS Type: UBR
I can ping modem (ip 10.0.0.138) and access it's web interface (rather useless).
More I can't really tell...

post the network section of your rc.conf
must be something like this
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 10.0.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

Hi,
ok, here it is, but I always used DHCP (on winxp). Modem gave me some ip in range 10.0.0.x.

HOSTNAME="david"
#
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available
# interfaces.
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
#
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#
#NET_PROFILES=(main)
Using this and connecting modem to eth0 gives me inet addr:10.0.0.2.
Anyway, I'm damn sure problem is not this...
Btw, few minutes back I came across this:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mic … pptpclient
Can't this be my solution? I'll have to check it when I have more time.
Anyway, thanx.
