[Had]

Hi all
I have a modem am300 Linksys with a network cable and a USB cable. I need to connect with USB cable to Internet but There are five LED light on modem: Power , Ethernet , USB , DSL , Internet and are all on except ethernet but I can't ping or use browser site addresses with a not found error.
Modem have an IP that can go to modem setup and I change it correctly with my provider info.
I use of pppoeconf application but it can't find any .... in my computer! But I make one with:

pppoeconf tap0

and this is answers:

ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:e1:a7:76:76:81  
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

I am new to helping solve these problems. So, I may not have the right answers. My modem/router has 5 LEDs. Power, Ethernet, Wireless, Broadband, Internet. May be you do not have a broadband connection. Or may be DSL = Broadband. My Ethernet light is out until I put the ethernet cable into the modem and computer. Then the LED comes on. Then Network manger gives a message saying there is an ethernet connection and the icon changes to two black arrows pointing in opposite directions.

Do you have a network manager icon in the top right corner of the screen. If so, left click the icon. Do you get a list of network connections. I have two wired connections eth0 and eth1 and a wireless connection with the name of my ISP. I do not know if any of this helps.

If you go to System - Administration - Users and Groups. You can select your profile. Under Advance settings you can see if you have permission to access the internet using a modem. If you right click the network icon and select a connection to edit, you can mark that connection to connect automatically and make it available to all users. May be this information will help. I am sorry if it does not.

Regards.

I think it is difficult to get the router working via USB.Why dont you try ethernet?
If ethernet light is not blinking

ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:e1:a7:76:76:81
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::2e1:a7ff:fe76:7681/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:198 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:250 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

How this IP?Did you configure manually?

[Had]

My system can't work with network port! this is made in 2001
No! this configuration made by pppoeconf command. I have a USB Winmodem too and now connect with it but this is very hard and frequently near 20 Min I must spend for each connect!

But you have got an IP
pl connect your PC to the router via ethernet cable.Then post the results of

ping 4.2.2.1 -c3

[Had]

Thank you for your response!

this is answers:

# ping 4.2.2.1 -C3
connect: Network is unreachable

and I think this may be useful :

# traceroute -n 4.2.2.1
traceroute to 4.2.2.1 (4.2.2.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
connect: Network is unreachable
