[Biggy]

have you tried System>Administration>Network>New>DSL Connection?

[Biggy]

yes . but here is only via ethernet.
my modem is USB

[ivancat]

USB modems are recognized as eth devices. So, if you have eth0 it is your modem

[Biggy]

a ok !

plzz help me how to configure and connect to internet

i'm new in Linux

[ivancat]

You open System > Administration > Network
Press New
Choose xDSL Connection
Here you choose:
- Ethernet device: here it should be eth0 (if your modem is the only ethernet device you have)
- Provider name: name your provider somehow
- Account type: normal (if you have T-online, select T-online)
- Login name: enter your login name you use to connect to the internet
- Password: enter your password
Click Next, click Apply

Now, to activate the connection, choose it from the list and press 'Activate'

To monitor the connection I would suggest adding the network monitor applet to a gnome pannel

[Biggy]

give error on Activate connection :

/usr/sbin/adsl-start: line 215: 2747 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

i restart fedora but same error !!!

any idea ?

Maybe you mistyped in username/password? Also make sure if you have multiple ethernet devices (not modem only, but on-board ethernet card for example) you chose the right one

I got this error several times in my life but it was due to maintenance works by my provider

my username/password is ok.
i have on-board ethernet card and external USB Sagem F@st adsl modem.

from network xDSL device i view only on-board ethernet card, where is my USB modem to select as default ??

erm...looks like your modem doesn't want to work right after it's plugged in. I've made a quick search and (if you have Sagem Fast 800) here's somewhat a good guide to make it work (a couple of guides better to say):

If you have Sagem Fast 1500 here's the driver for fedora:

Almost the same topic.
I have installed Fedora 9.
ADSL modem connects via USB (ZTE 831 AII modem) and configured as bridge.
The eth1 interface is up in system when modem is turned on (so, eth0 is built-in ethernet card).
I have installed rp-pppoe package as recommended and run ppp-start.
The ip command gives me such output:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

3: pan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop

4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

link/ppp
inet 91.76.150.50 peer 91.76.148.1/32 scope global ppp0

So, my PPPoE should be ok. But I cant ping anything. Even provider's DNS server

PING 195.34.32.116 (195.34.32.116) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 195.34.32.116 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2884ms


On the ISP website written that DNS is provided by server.
I had tried both things - write "server" in ppp-configuration file and write DNS explicitly (the DNS ip's are taken from working windows internet connection) in resolv.conf file.

But still I cant ping anything beyond my ADSL modem

Should I reconfigure ADSL as router? Or should I connect modem via ethernet cable?
Or it might be something wrong in configuration files?

One more question - ppp connection starting/stopping is allowed to root only. Do I need rewrite scripts to permit ordinary user to run ppp?
