[arachne] Re: ADSL - Broadband connections, again

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi Glenn, I tried all of your suggestions... but failed.
Grabbing the IP & nameserver via DHCP also failed but produced another fail screen. At the bottom: Initialysing TCP/IP... BootP failed :-( 

Remarks:
whatever numbers I tried it does not make a lot of difference.
But perhaps the clue is in the dial in function I do not have in Arachne as Connection is Ready.
And maybe the username is not correct. It is normaly in the dialer section of arachne.cfg
To use the dial in program (windows) from the other computer is (perhaps) notthe right way to connect. Possible the internet is connected to the routerport of that machine. 

How to investigate in what part of the chain the fault is?
Does the signals of Arachne arrive at the router, do they arrive at the right port, are they handed over to the internet? 

My hope of using Arachne on ADSL is going down...

Regards, Bastiaan

Bastiaan,

Since you have a modem/router (all in one).

Try this......

--- in arachne.cfg ---

[profile]
Profile ara-rtr.ACF
Connection READY
Hangup NULL

[dialer]
Dialer NULL
[tcp/ip]
IP_Address 192.168.1.65
IP_Grab IP address set to
NameServer 192.168.0.1
AltNameServer
Gateway 192.168.0.1
AltGateway 0.0.0.0
Netmask 255.255.255.0
TCPconfig PPPRTR.CFG
_________________________________________

---- in ppprtr.cfg ---
my_ip = 192.168.1.65
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.0.1
sockdelay=60
hostname=arachne
mss=1600
______________________

Since the 3rd number in the IP address you found is '1' ....

Also try 192.168.1.1 as both nameserver & gateway.
____________________________________________________________________

You could also try grabbing the IP & nameserver via DHCP like so....

--- in arachne.cfg ---

[profile]
Profile ara-rtr.ACF
Connection READY
Hangup NULL

[dialer]
Dialer NULL
[tcp/ip]
IP_Address WATTCP        ;forces the use of only the TCPconfig file info
IP_Grab IP address set to
NameServer               ;no nameserver in arachne.cfg, dhcp will get it
AltNameServer
Gateway 0.0.0.0          ;no gateway in arachne.cfg, put it in ppprtr.cfg
AltGateway 0.0.0.0
Netmask 0.0.0.0          ;no netmask in arachne.cfg, put it in ppprtr.cfg
TCPconfig PPPRTR.CFG
_________________________________________

---- in ppprtr.cfg ---
my_ip = dhcp           ;gets IP address & nameserver from router via DHCP
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.0.1  ; as above..... also try 192.168.1.1
sockdelay=60
hostname=arachne
mss=1600
