Do you know how to get a wired ethernet connection (without a router, no WLAN) within Puppy 4.0 beta? There is no Roaring Penguin available, so I did the following within a shell:
ifconfig eth0 up
pppoe-setup (I entered the same values as in my running Puppy 2.14-configuration)
Then I checked /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf. The entries are the same as in Puppy 2.14.
pppoe-start
But I cannot connet to the internet, it doesn't work. Could you help me, please?
How to create a wired DSL connection with Puppy 4.0 Beta?
Waiting for a better solution I solved in this way:
installed :
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ch&id=5986
You will not see gui because of a problem with tlk libraires BUT :
copy all folder /etc/ppp from your last internet-working-puppy
then execute :
/etc/firewall-standalone ( or the one you need )
then with rxvt :
pppoe-wrapper start NAME_OF_CONNECTION ( the one you used with puppy 2.14)
It's not an elegant way but it works ( i'm using it )
You can use also :
pppoe-wrapper stop NAME_OF_CONNECTION
pppoe-wrapper status NAME_OF_CONNECTION

Thank you for your answer. But I come as far as before. If I run pppoe-setup or if I choose your way it ends up with the following result:

oli,
Your eth0 connection doesn't have an ip address. It won't work.
You have to dowher xxx etcc should be in the range of your adsl modem.
(could be 10.0.0.xxx or 192.168.0.xxx)
Your eth0 connection doesn't have an ip address. It won't work.
You have to do
Code: Select all
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(could be 10.0.0.xxx or 192.168.0.xxx)

Shouldn't cause any problems. With other distros, sometimes my card has been detected as eth1 even when there's no router, no wireless and it's really eth0. No idea why - hasn't happened in Puppy, though.
Worth a try. Just enter ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up.
You might have to manually edit or create your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf.

The IP you get has nothing to do with the local IP's.oli wrote:I receive a dynamic IP from my provider, that's why I cannot enter an IP. And in Puppy 2.14 everything is fine, but not in Dingo. So, problem is still unsolved.
If IP of the adsl modem isn't in the same range as the IP of your ethernet port, you'll never get a connection.
So:
Try to find the IP of your adsl modem. you should have a manual)
set the IP manually of the ethernet port in the same range.
From that point on you can do more diagnostic.

I solved the problem. The problem is that the file /etc/resolv.conf is missing after executing pppoe-start. Instead of this file there is a symbolic link to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. And this is a symbolic link back to /etc/resolv.conf. Both links direct to each other. You have to copy your resolv.conf (e.g. from Puppy 2.14) to /etc after executing pppoe-start.
The question is, how to get the file /etc/resolv.conf if you are new to Puppy and have not this file from an old Puppy 2.x.
