| 191114 | 2003-11-12 04:28:00 | Hi, i am planning to setup a dedicated firewall and server box using Mandrake 9.1, all has gone well up till now. I have just bought a DSE USB v2 ADSL Ethernet Router ( www.dse.co.nz ) Default Router Settings are: Router IP address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 VPI: 0 VCI: 100 ATM Service Category: UBR Encapsulation: PPPoA VC-Mux DNS Proxy Selection: Auto Discovery + User Configured Trellis: Enabled Handshake Protocol: Autosense - G.dmt first Wiring Selection: Tip/Ring Bit Swapping: Disabled I have been into Mandrake Control Center and used drakconnect to setup the ADSL internet connection, but when it comes to the selection of modem, i am at a loss with which one to choose. My router isn't there, so i am wondering if there are drivers out there which will work with my Router. If yes, also how to install these drivers and get this setup. Thanks in advance -Jordan |

| 191116 | 2003-11-12 04:48:00 | ok, how do i go about doing this (sorry n00b here :p) | [linux] mb0o53 (4863) | ||
| 191117 | 2003-11-12 04:51:00 | dhcp. It is automaticly enabled on the router. |

| 191118 | 2003-11-12 04:57:00 | so is this going from my linux box > dhcp > router? | [linux] mb0o53 (4863) | ||
| 191119 | 2003-11-12 05:09:00 | DHCP should be fine. Ive never actually done DHCP in linux (/me blushes), but plugging it into your PC's LAN card it should pick it up correctly provided your LAN is actually "on" in Mandrake. As root, try running: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 That will bring up your ethernet interfaces. You can run (again, as root) ifconfig This will show you the interfaces you have that are up and any relevant IP information etc. Ilikelinux should be able to help you out if you're still wanting to use DrakConf, Ive never done it as Im not a real MDK fan ;-) Hope this helps Chill. |

| 191120 | 2003-11-12 05:11:00 | i have my LAN card plugged into the linux box as eth0, it is setup with ip of: 192.168.0.1, are you saying that i can connect through eth0 to the router, bypassing the need to use the USB cable? | [linux] mb0o53 (4863) | ||
| 191121 | 2003-11-12 05:20:00 | Yup, just change the IP of either your LAN card or the Router so they're both on 192.168.Y.Z (where Y is the same on both PC and Router) and you should be pretty much away. You will probably need to set the gateway to the routers IP address. And yes, you can do away with the USB cable if you do it like this :-) |

| 191122 | 2003-11-12 05:22:00 | with the usb cable, it just works like a usb network card thou | ilikelinux (1418) | ||
