Hi all,
Although I was able to set up ADSL on my friend's laptop quite easily
due to the excellent tool pppoeconf & instructions given at
http://www.chennailug.org/wiki/Chennai_Broadband_guide#Broadband_in_Ubuntu I
have few questions perhaps the group can give some direction. I have tried &
failed (Google) to find good pppoeconf resources which explain the same.
Here's the rundown :-
Code:
pon dsl-provider
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded
Then after surfing when I give
Code:
poff
/usr/bin/poff: /bin/kill failed. None stopped
I gave the command again
Code:
poff
/usr/bin/poff: /bin/kill failed. None stopped
the same thing happens.
Then again I gave
Code:
pon dsl-provider
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded
Then after reading the man I gave
Code:
poff -a
I get some other error but the connection is off.
Then giving the command while the connection is on
Code:
ifconfig ppp0
link ecap : Point-to-point protocol
inet address : 59.95.14.24
P-T-P : 59.95.0.1
Mask : 255.255.255.255
UP POINT POINT RUNNING NO ARP MULTICAST
MTU: 1492 METRIC :1
Rx Packets : 18 errors :0
dropped :0 overruns :0
frame :0
Tx packets :5 errors:0
dropped :0 overruns :0
carrier :0 collisons :0
txqueueclean:3
Rx bytes :932 (932.0b)
Tx bytes : 134 (134.0b)
Now question time,
1. what is this Plugin rp-pppoe.so which is loaded? Is it a library or what
& where is it reside(location with the whole path) ?
2. of the two addresses given, one of them would be the dynamic IP which is
given by the ISP. Now of the 2 which is dynamic & what is other IP from inet
& P-T-P ?
3. The Rx packets & Tx packets would be packets received & send right? If
so, what does tx queueclean stand for?
4. Lastly, the poff has many options starting with [-r] [-d] [-c] [-a] [-h]
[up-name] , what are these options & what do they mean?
All of the things are hand-written notes as they appeared on the screen so
if some of the things should appear on the same line but appears but on the
next line as I've written then it might be what I've written & not on the
screen. So content look might be different but the content itself is 100%
Thnx in advance.
