BSNL Dataone
Hello I recently subscribed to bsnl's dataone broadband. It works fine from win xp, but i am unable to figure out how to get it working in debian linux. I have tried everything that has been said in this thread but still cant get it to work.
My modem is siemens c2110 and its in bridge mode.
I have tried using pppoeconf and when that didnt work i also used rp-pppoe. After the initial setup when i tried doing pon dsl-provider, the output from plog said that it timed out. When i tried pppoe-start the output is as follows:

# pppoe-start
................TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 193: 8861 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1

#pppoeconf

# pon dsl-provider
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.

# plog

Jul 12 02:06:04 localhost pppd[9490]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0

Iam able to ping the modem without any problems. But the pppoe setup is not going through. Please somebody help. I posted this message in another thread also but no replies so far.


I am using debian etch and the output of some commands are as follows:

please help some one. Thanx for any help in advance.

regards.
 
best way to connect in linux using c2110 is by configuring modem in pppoe mode not bridge mode.i have successfully tried it using knoppix live CD to run linux & get connected just to test it.
 
Thanx for the help everyone.But can u tell me what's the difference between the two modes. Mean while i'll be trying to connect with the new config.
 


Finaaly, i am able to browse from linux. Thanx for the suggestion of configuring the modem into pppoe mode. it works like magic now. I just followd the steps from the tutorial to configure modem into pppoe and it simply worked. Thanx guys for all the help. Appreciate it.
