Problems with my dsl-connection

Hi!
I have a big problem by setting up my dsl-connection, because I have no idea how to do this. I don't understand what I'm reading, when I try to search the forum.

But here is the excerpt of my rc.conf (the networking-part)

#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   (prefix an interface in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it)
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it)
#
DAEMONS=(syslogd klogd !pcmcia network netfs crond adsl)
# End of file

I have installed rp-pppoe and ppp, set up adsl-setup, but nothing is running, but when I'm booting the system tells me, that allready my network card (via-rhine) could not be loaded.

could you please help me, and try to write in an understandable way please

thank you very much.

Re: Problems with my dsl-connection

hi,
first you should run:

lsmod

to see if the via-rhine modul is loaded
if you see that you should run

adsl-start

and if that works fine than you're all set

in case the module is not loaded try

modprobe via-rhine

and maybe try a

/etc/rc.d/network restart
adsl-start

this is how it works for me.. check if "via-rhine" is in your MODULES () in the rc.conf
i don't have adsl in the DAEMONS array.. i have it start in /etc/rc.local
hope that helps, i don't have a router so in case you got one than maybe all these steps are completely different since you'll only need to set up a LAN connection

Re: Problems with my dsl-connection

And with my dsl connection I had to use 'eth0=dhcp'.
I did not have to specify my IP address.
