Firestarter problem.

.Danny

I've installed firestarter but when I try to start it it's giving me this:

Quote:

Failed to start the firewall

The device eth0 is not ready.

Please check your network device settings and make sure your Internet connection is active.

If I try the status thingy..

danny@Ryiah:~$ sudo /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh status
External network device eth0 is not ready. Aborting..

I'm running a pppoe connection that starts on boot. eth0 is obviously ready and running since I'm here posting this and on irc etc.

What could be the problem?

Hmm bump?

Are you sure your connection is eth0?

First time you run firestarter you need to give the network interface.

I'm also in a pppoe ADSL connection, but my network interface is ppp0.

Ah thanks that did the trick. I just assumed its eth0 since that was what i was selecting in pppoeconf. Thanks.
