I recently got a DSL connection from Verizon. It works well, using Windows 2000 and the Win Poet client. My DSL modem is the Westell unit provided by Verizon. My Ethernet card is by 3com. The card works correctly on broadband networks which use dhcp (Linux and Windows, both). The Linux side: I downloaded the latest i386 rpm of rp-pppoe (a user-space PPPOE client from Roaring Penguin). My Redhat system shipped with a corrupted copy of this package. I replaced it with the new copy, (uninstalled the bad, and installed the new with "rpm -Uvh). Next, I ran the provided setup script. It asks a few questions, and modifies several configuration files. The files got modified as I'd been led to expect. Using the Redhat setup tool, I turned off unnecessary services, like dhcpd, httpd, for instance. Just before rebooting, I moved the file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" to my root directory, so the Ethernet device wouldn't come up at boot time, with the "pump" dhcp client. Finally, I restarted. Using the Rp-PPPOE, one is supposed to bring up the ADSL connection with "ADSL-start". When I do this, It tries to connect, and quits with a "timeout" error. What may I have missed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -Dave Hunt Home tel: 617 923 2407 Office tel: 617 912 5238 Email: dave.hunt2@verizon.net
