[linux-help] Need help on DSL Connection under Linux RH6.0

[TS VIN <tsravi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to use DSL with LINUX RH 6.0 for the last 1 wk.  NO
 success.  Any help/suggestion would help.  Here is what happens:

 DSL works fine on WIN98

 on my Linux, I type

 169.254.1.1 for default gateway

 I.P. address 208.190.252.1

 netmask:  255.255.255.0

 pimary name + domain: swbell.net

 nameservers:  151.164.1.7 and 151.164.1.8 (This is the ONLY one I am
 sure about)

 in my start-pppoe file I used

 Access Concentrator: 13051069921437 -rback1.wchtks

When I use USERID tsravi - I get a error message invalid tsravi option -

 so I don't use it


 In the pap-secrets file: I typed in: tsravi   *  passwd  *
 also, in chap-secrets file:

 After doing all this, I go to xterm and type /usr/local/bin/start-pppoe

 I get NO error - I can see lights (enet and ohm) blink on my ADSL modem



 when I try telnet my school unix machine (or any other IP address) I
get
 the message "hostname lookup failure"

 when I tried to ping "ipaddress"  I get the error message network
 unreachable and it keeps trying until I hit ^Z

 This is what I have tried so far.  I tried 'DCHP' option as well as
 'none' - no use.

 I have run out of ideas.  I belive that the ethernet card is connected
 to the modem and it is not able to go to the DSL server or nameserver.

 Any suggestions would be appreciated. Let me know if you need any
 clarification. Thanks.

 Ravi
