Sify Broadband Linux Client

[ujjwal]

I set up the driver for my lan card ... it worked ... I could ping my own ip ... then I set up my own ip address ... I could ping the sify gateway, so I @$$ume the adapter is working fine But when I use the sifyconnect application, I enter my username and p@$$word, but it just stalls after that ... I can just exit using the CTRL+C combination ... can any1 help me here?

have not tried the sify broadband client for linux till now. but i think the indian linux community has released its own version of linux client that works better than the official version. i will try to find it out.

It would be great if you could find out ... I tried without success ... btw, i'll try setting up the normal client for now, but I have a small query ... in the netconf section of linuxconf ... I entered my ip, subnet mask in the Basic host information, and my DNS search order in the appropriate section, but where do I enter my gateway ip? Sorry for the n00b question but there isn't much I know about networking or linux ...

Ok ... for the first time I opened up a web page in lynx ... but it was just the local server ... whenever I try to go to google or someplace it gives a "Remote host not found error". Now as I dont run XWindows (I run just in console now) ... I have no other way to check if its working

and they ask us why we need Pings and Traceroutes. try ftp command

Nah ... even ftp didn't work ... so basically I can just connect to my local server ... must be a problem with their client ... it seems quite buggy ... hmm ... quite like their windows client

[ujjwal]
