    Provided of course that your ADSL modem is fully compatible.

    How to use DSL connection on USB port

    I have a DSL Connection with 2Wire DSL wireless modem/router.

    From that modem I have an USB cable going to my USB port.

    I do get the internet connection with WindowsXP.

    Recently I got fed-up with Windows and installed Fedora Core 2 for dual boot.

    How do I configure my internet connection? I did not have to
    use ISP name and user id and password for this (and other)
    computers that use this wireless modem.

    Thanks.

    sn

    DSL Connection on USB port

    Hi imdeemvp,

    I tried all this, still I do not get connection.

    After pressing the 'activate' button I get message that it could not be
    activated (after some time).

    I have a dual boot machine (Fedora 2 and WindowsXP). The internet connection
    works when I use the WindowsXP. The DSL phone line goes into the 2Wire
    wireless router. This PC does not have an ethernet card and one of its USB port
    is connected to the USB output of the router via a cable.

    The ethernet output of the 2Wire router is connected to another wireless LinkSys
    router which supports a Mac iBook and a PC laptop (both on wireless connection).
    They do not require any of this information. Also this 2Wire wireless router could be
    tapped into by a wireless card (if within the range).

    What could be done ?

    Thanks.

    sn

    make sure you enter the correct dns # and check login id and password and dont forget to save it!
    most of the times when you connectoins fails is due to wrong settings entered...

    BTW....you did not have to re-copy the tutorial.....the thread will become longer if you can edit it i will really appreciated....thanks!

    So there is no shell command to start/stop a DSL connection in Fedora? Besides maybe ifup/ifdown ppp0?

    According to this article if you setup your adsl in terminal that is how you connect using ifup/ifdown ppp0

    I just tried that and it doesn't work. Calling ifup ppp0 doesn't trigger the connection. In fact I get an error message ppp0 would not be configured.

    Why doesn't Fedora utilize the adsl-* scripts?

    USB Modems are not detected as Ethernet cards? Or is that just me. I have D-Link DSL 200 rev B.

    Good HOW-TO Ideemvp!

    This is how I had set up my connection a while ago, though I had to jump around trying to figure it out. Good someone documented it.

    Just out of curiosity, what files does it edit.
    resolv.conf holds the DNS server, but where does the IP address stay?

    PPPoE service name

    I don't like cross-posting, but since this is an important topic, i'll stick it here:

    Please read this post ,
    it is about service names and PPPoE.
    Any feedback is appreciated.
