Setting up internet connection--help needed
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 2:08 pm
Hi I am new to Linux.
I have problem setting up the internet.
I am able to connect to internet through pppoe in windows.
In Linux,
When i type
sudo pppoeconf
it says eth0 detected.
And i takes me to a new screen, it searches for the device and says device not properly connected. But when I do a ping to my ADSL modem, I am able to do that succesfully. Also, the ethenet light in my modem is active.
I have given the static ip address as 192.168.1.10
and the subnet mask as 255..255.255.0
Can anyone describe me in detail about setting up the connection.
