Re: Config ADSL

[Fedora List]

Hi Alexander (and anyone that has some insight into this problem),

Thanks for your help so far.

The files:

/etc/hosts

and

/etc/resolv.conf

are configured correctly.

The connection still fails, so I have included my routing table for you to see, if it
helps:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
165.165.128.1__0.0.0.0________255.255.255.255__UH__0__0__0__ppp0
192.168.1.0____192.168.1.10___255.255.255.0____UG__0__0__0__eth0
192.168.1.0____0.0.0.0________255.255.255.0____U___0__0__0__eth0
169.254.0.0____0.0.0.0________255.255.0.0______U___0__0__0__eth0
127.0.0.0______0.0.0.0________255.0.0.0________U___0__0__0__lo
0.0.0.0________192.168.1.254__0.0.0.0__________UG__0__0__0__eth0

(underscores for legibility purposes ;-P )

The ADSL's IP is 192.168.1.254, host machine eth0 static IP is 192.168.1.10.

I've also set ppp0 as a trusted device in firewall setup if that changes anything.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Stuart
