Hodgy, nice avatar ! Thanks Fran for suggesting it. :)Hodgy, did you get the resolv.conf I did send you by mail ?And we will have to change your /etc/ppp/peers/adsl After that you can reboot and check the logs for error-messages, maybe we need the script in rc.local the howto is talking about.Anyway that the last few commands:

[root@localhost ken]# cd /etc/rc3.d[root@localhost rc3.d]# mv S*cnxadslctl S90cnxadslctl[root@localhost rc3.d]# cd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d[root@localhost rc2.d]# mv K*cnxadslctl K10cnxadslctl[root@localhost rc2.d]# exit
were successful gives hope we´re on the right way. <_< :DI´m writing the how-to´s right now.:D Bruno

Hi hodgy,Glad the resolv.conf was O.K.I suppose you did put the resolv.conf in your /home/ken/ADSL ?sucp /home/ken/ADSL/resolv.conf /etc/ ( space between cp and /home, conf and /etc/ )overwrite ? Yes !Now the /etc/ppp/peers/adsl :suvi /etc/ppp/peers/adsli ( to put vi in insert mode )and change that last line to:user "myid@adsl.myisp.com" ( replacing the address and leaving the ¨ ¨ )Close and save vi with ¨Esc¨ and ¨ZZ¨Then reboot and check internet connection and if no connection is there, check the logs.If we have problems, check if you have:/usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoatm.so ( just click the directories and see if it is there. )Then report back to me.Good luck Hodgy !<_< Bruno

Hi BrunoThings have not gone as planned, Is there supposed to be an Acess runner icon anywhere?Could not find one. Tried the internet conn. wizard no luck there either,I looked for usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoatm.so my line was slightly differentusr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so During this process i have been copying text files on floppy, but know mandrake will notlet me access mnt/floppy Something about user access denied.How do i alter that please. This started when i tried to copy a file to floppy that was to big,I did not know this at the time. I have the boot and syslog files on floppy but the syslog fileis 1MB in size. How do you want me to proceed?Hodgy :)

Hi Hodgy

Is there supposed to be an Acess runner icon anywhere?
No, not that I know . . why ?
Tried the internet conn. wizard no luck there either,
Stay away from the wizard !
usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so
Good that you found that one ! We need that.
mandrake will not let me access mnt/floppy Something about user access denied.
sometimes a reboot helps here, if not,as root:mount /dev/floppy ( space between mount and /dev )mount /mnt/floppyThat should help !we will change this file:/etc/ppp/peers/pciThis is the line :plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so 0.38 ( that is zero dot thirtyeight )And check if the last line still has your login name in it.Also check if the file ¨cnxadslctl¨ is still in your ¨etc/rc.d/init.d¨Don´t lose patience my friend we´re getting close . . . :) Bruno

You´re welcome Hodgy, we want this $#%@!!* modem to work, don´t we ? And I will tell you, I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeve . . . . . you´re just not allowed to give up yet ! You got me in to this, Hodgy, and now we will finish it together ! :) :DB) Bruno

BrunoLock and Load! We (that probably means you) have some butt to kick.No good news on the previous mission,Floppy.I entered in root mount /dev/floppybash can't find /dev/floppy in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtabHodgy the magician, Things disappear :unsure: When enteringplugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/ppoatm.so 0.38command plugin not foundSome good news "cnxadslctl" is in etc/rc.d/init.dHodgy

Hi Hodgy

When enteringplugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/ppoatm.so 0.38command plugin not found
Sorry I was not clear. That line has to show in your ¨/etc/ppp/peers/pci¨ like this:
noauthplugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so 0.38noipdefaultkdebug 1nopcompnoccpnovjholdoff 4maxfail 25persistusepeerdnsdefaultrouteuser "myid@adsl.myisp.com"
So do:vi /etc/ppp/peers/pciiand edit the file . . . . save and colse: Esc and ZZThen for your floppy: Did you try mount /mnt/floppy aswell ? If you did and still have no access:cat /etc/fstab >fstab.txtand show me the file, just copy it to your /mnt/win_c and then you can open it in windows and copy and paste it in your next post.:unsure: Bruno

Start up a browser and type in ¨www.scotsnewsletter.com/forums/index..php?act=Post&CODE=02&f=14&t=1166¨And yes that is just as root those two simple commands ( I know it is hard to believe but Linux gets more simple after all you went through ! ):unsure: Bruno

There we see a vci and vpi of 1.25, I wonder why, because we made it 0.38Also it tries to use another pppoe.so . . . . . Would you do as root a:¨updatedb¨ ( this will take some time for the prompt to return, be patient ) then,¨locate pppoe.so¨ ( and see what answers it comes up with )I´ll just poor another cup of coffee and start digging into this.

Hodgy, my friend;I´m afraid we have to start all over again . . . . . Don´t know if you did follow George´s adventures with his conexant modem ? After messing so much to get his modem running, all kind of config files were just junk. He did a full re-install of his RedHat and followed the guidelines . . . . result: Connection UP !So here is the deal: Do a complete re-install of your Mandrake, do NOT reformat your /home partition ( where we did backup all the files needed ;) )Do NOT try to configure your connection during install, just skip that part !( Nor after by the @#$%#!! wizard )In the mean time I will make a whole new HOWTO and post it as soon as I ´ve got it put together.First I will have a bit of fresh air out in the garden though ! So take a rest first and boost your energy for the 2nd atempt !Anyway we did learn a lot from these adventures . . . knowledge that we will need for the next stage !!:P Bruno

- - A NEW START - - Hi HodgyA fresh install a fresh how-to ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - First we go to the Mandrake Control Center --> Software ManagementAnd search for these two files ( only these 2 )rp-pppoe-3.5-2mdkppp-2.4.1-9mdkAnd install the 2 suckers !- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Then we will install the drivers, still in your /home/ken/ADSL I hope:This is the driver: CnxADSL-TgrATM_k2.4.3-61.2.007-7.i386.rpmrpm -ihv /home/ken/ADSL/CnxADSL-TgrATM_k2.4.3-6.1.2.007-7.i386.rpmI´ll tel you a little trick here Hodgy, if you type /home/ken/ADSL/CnxADSL-Tg and then hit the Tab button, it will finish the rest by itsself ;)if you get error messages after hitting Enter ( and you are sure you typed the right command ) :rpm -i --force /home/ken/ADSL/CnxADSL-TgrATM_k2.4.3-6.1.2.007-7.i386.rpm- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Now we adapt the PAP-SECRETS and CHAP-SECRETS :su ( password )vi /etc/ppp/pap-secrets ( space between vi and /etc )i ( just an i to put the editor in insert mode )'userid@isp.co.uk' * 'myPassword' * exactly like that with the * and the ´ but then with your login and password !Hit the Esc key and 2 times the Z ( z+shift )That should save the file.Now we do the same for the other file:vi /etc/ppp/chap-secrets ( space between vi and /etc )i ( just an i to put the editor in insert mode )'userid@isp.co.uk' * 'myPassword' * exactly like that with the * and the ´ but then with your login and password !Hit the Esc key and 2 times the Z ( z+shift ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Then we copy the resolv.conf on it´s place:sucp /home/ken/ADSL/resolv.conf /etc/ ( space between cp and /home, conf and /etc/ )overwrite ? Yes !- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - And change the last line of /etc/ppp/peers/adsl:suvi /etc/ppp/peers/adsli ( to put vi in insert mode )and change that last line to:user "myid@adsl.myisp.com" ( replacing the address and leaving the ¨ ¨ )Close and save vi with ¨Esc¨ and ¨ZZ¨- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Next we do a little Test:su cnxadslconfig --vpi=0 --vci=38cnxadslctl.sh startcnxadslctl.sh status And have a look if we are lucky: ifconfig -a ( see if isp is up ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Then we reboot and see if that helped to get connected. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This was part 1 Hodgy, take it step by step and report anything that is ¨special¨.Reboot and print the boot.log for me.;) Bruno
