Hi there,
I have dual boot system Ubuntu and ms XP. Can't get Ubuntu online while having no problems in XP.
I did everything as said in the manual and much more, but it wont work.
if i use "sudo pppoeconf" i get this message:
sorry, i scanned 2 interfaces, but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond. please check your network and modem cables. ANother reason may be another running pppoe process wich controls modem.

if i choose my ethernet card by "sudo pppeoconf eth0" it starts with message:
Interface eth0 has MTU of 576 -- should be 1500. You may have serious connection problems."
but then installs the connection that doesn't work.

ifconfig output:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1b:fc:2a:8f:86  
          inet addr:172.20.32.218  Bcast:172.20.39.255  Mask:255.255.248.0

to connect i use:
ADSL modem Thompson tcm425
Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC

Any suggestions?
please help

Isn't the Thompson TCM425 a cable modem? If so it probably doesn't use pppoe. Your ifconfig output is already showing that an ip address has been assigned from the private 172.x.x.x range. It looks like you have a working connection.

What kind of errors are returned when you try to connect to a web site? How about if you open a terminal and type

ping google.com

or

ping 66.233.187.99

thanx for responce

sn't the Thompson TCM425 a cable modem?

you are right i have a cable conection

ping google.com

trip@mint445:~$ ping google.com
PING google.com (213.57.1.13) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- google.com ping statistics ---

ping 66.233.187.99

trip@mint445:~$ ping 66.233.187.99

How could it work if i haven't input the pswd and user name from my internet provider? how can i do it?

I also found that i should use
http://cables.org.il/ik/cable.tar.gz
script for my connection for connection but it also didn't work

thx

Try opening a terminal and issue these commands:

sudo dhclient -r eth0

then

sudo dhclient eth0

Copy the output if you can and paste it into your next post.

I'm sorry but your connection appears more complicated than I first thought and is getting beyond my knowledge level. Apparently it does use some form of ppp or tunneling over ethernet contrary to what I first thought. IS your service provider able to help at all? BTW are you in Israel?

One thing I did see in the tar file you posted, if it is accurate, is that you'll need the pptp-linux package installed. You can get this from the windows side by opening your browser and going to http://packages.ubuntu.com. Navigate to networking section for hardy or whatever your version is, and download pptp-linux. Copy the file from windows to your ubuntu desktop or ~/home and you can install it by double-clicking it from the gui or from a terminal by "dpkg -i pptp-linux" while in the same directory the file is located in.

If I can find out anything else I will post again, and please do post if you find the solution. Good luck.

Yes i am in Israel.
I'll keep on googling, the problem is that i have used already about 5 "recepies" and reinstalled the system couple of times this week. I start to feel quite desperate about it.
The tar file i found was posted in 2006 so i am not sure if it should work in ubuntu 8.1, it didn't work for me.

Probably i'll try to ask some native forums.
thanx
dan

Resolved:

1. Download the dialer (by default made for 012 IP, but can be used with any other)

2. Save it in Home directory and open archive.

unzip cable.zip

3. Copy the file /cable/scripts/pptp-linux to /usr/sbin

sudo cp ./scripts/pptp-linux /usr/sbin

4. install (in cable dir)

sudo ./Install

5. Provide all data you'll be asked in GUI, like:

IP provided pass
IP provided username
IP adress (IP providers in israel you can find here)

6.to start the connection

sudo cable-start

to stop the connection

sudo cable-stop
