DataOne on Linux

Hello folks.
I got the dataone connection and it works fine on windows.But I am having some problems on my FC3 box.
I am able to go to the admin page of the router and when I submit the diagnostics all tests pass.

I did the adsl-setup which went through successfully.
However when I do

adsl-start
I get
Timeout waiting for PADO packets (in /var/log/messages)
I did adsl-status and I get
adsl-status: Link is attached to ppp0, but ppp0 is down

i also did /sbin/ifup ppp0 and I get the same error as for adsl-start.

I am able to ping to the router
http://192.168.1.1/
DO I need to do anything here?I havent changed any settings.

Hope to get some help
Vivek

well i am happy to see a great post title on this thread. 😛

First of all, FC3 is really old, so get some new shite.Is your IP address (ethernet card, not modem) the same that you have on Windows? hardcoded? 192.168.1.2 ? 192.168.1.3 ? Are you uding DHCP to automatically get the IP address from the modem?Is your firewall (iptables, is it?) running? Try disabling it (i dont remember how)Search for your error msg online "Timeout waiting for PADO packets" there are lots of links, didnt see a solution, you might find after reading for some time...But in any case, UPGRADE !!! I'm waiting for OpenSuse.org (OpenSuse 10.1) to release (should be about a month) then I'll reinstall over my suse 9.3 that i have rite now

anyone seen the videos of the novell linux desktop 10? they look fantastic. 🙂

Really? people have configured stuff on older releeases.If all else fails I will try to upgrade,but I feel I am on the verge of getting this work

i can only think of 2 clues:1. disable your firewall (iptables) - i was having adsl dialing problems on mandrake and disabling "shorewall" fixed it... wonder if you need to open ports for dialing...?2. search the Net for the error message - "Timeout waiting for PADO packets" - that should get you some more clues 🙂I also saw PADS instead of PADO somewhere, nothing concrete... I did see a mention of some version of linux-kernel having problems with adsl...So yep, whenever you get a chance, why stay with FC3? At least try a newer kernel/pppd/adsl-utils release, who knows if that's where the problem lies

well i got one more clue ,talking to someone..in my network-scripts/ifcg-eth0BOOTPROTO=dialupI was told it must be none..and ofcourse I am gonng get the latest versions of rp-pppoe too..but I hope this is it!!!!Also,how do I disable firewalls? pardon me,I am a newbie to linux netowrking

I am assuming your network is configured as eth0. You may try eth1 or 2 , if you have got more than 2 network cards.

Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and put this there.

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.20
ONBOOT=yes
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Make sure that /etc/sysconfig/network has a line saying NETWORKING=yes

once you finish that do a /etc/init.d/network restart. That will assign the IP 192.168.1.20 to your machine. Confirm it by issuing ifconfig command then actually pinging the IP.

Once you are done with that, ping 192.168.1.1 for a reply.

If you gets the reply, you are indeed lucky and follow what you did to configure the net on Windows box, like taking http://192.168.1.1 (on a browser ofcourse) and entering the username and pass there etc...etc...You should get the net once you finish that. I got USB also working. So good luck.

ah yeah, for disabling firewall issue the command,/etc/init.d/iptables stop and to stop the firewall for ever, issue the commandchkconfig --level 2345 iptables offah yeah and also make sure that the iptables have the default policy of ACCEPT by issuing a iptables -L -n , after stopping iptablesgrr..I always missed one point or other..to configure DNS edit /etc/resolv.conf and make the entries asnameserver 61.1.96.69nameserver 61.1.96.71

grr..I always missed one point or other..to configure DNS edit /etc/resolv.conf and make the entries as

nameserver 61.1.96.69
nameserver 61.1.96.71

Well I finally got it working..I had to change the BOOTPROTO from dhcp to none.I still dont know how the dhcp crept in there.
And I had to do adsl-stop because that kept starting the pppd which caused wierd PADO packet timeouts.
I still wondering why many tutorials want to do the adsl-setup..I think what I am using is the modem's internal dialer which doesnt require RP-pppoe package anyway.
And thats a lot simpler.

Didnt have to disable firewalls neither.

finally,works!
Thanks

In FC3 if you go to internet configuration wizard , pppoe (xDSL) can be setup in a flash, if the router config is properly done I am using it for my pacenet connection since ages without any problem, no need to edit any config files.

I just gone thru ur earlier posts on the topic"Dataone on Linux", it was written that i need to
edit this file

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and put this there.

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO= none
IPADDR=192.168.1.20
ONBOOT=yes
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

and restart the network..
Does this work?

PS: my earlier query can be found below.

Hi all,

I am facing a problem in connecting to INTERNET in LINUX mode (FEDORA CORE 3).
I am having Huawei SmartAX MT882 ADSL router from BSNL. It is working fine under WINDOWS XP.

In Linux, I ran adsl-setup and entered the neccessery info. After that I ran (as instructed) ifup ppp0 and after a minute or so got an error saying:

adsl_start: line 217: 1534 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>^1

Then, I ran adsl-connect, it is giving the following error:

pppo /dev/pts/3
.........................................
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
pppo: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
.......................................
......................................

what is the problem? Eagerly waiting for ur response.
Thanx in advance.

regards

I have Debian Sarge on my PC. Does anyone know how to configure in that ?
