PPPoE ADSL worked once, then quit

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Puppy-1.0.8rl-mozilla

Something strange happened to my LiveCD. Just started testing it the 2nd day. Yesterday I could connect broadband by running

Start --> Network --> roaring Penguin PPPoE ADSL

Basic tag - filling login and password
NIC and DNS tag - selecting "eth0" and "server"
Options tag - disable "allow use by non root user"
disable "synchronous PPP
Firewalling - select "Masquerading"

Then it worked after click "oK" --> Start. Broadband connected with Internet browsing possible.

Today it did not work. The green lights were on with curve running but "pings" on console failed.

Also tried enabling both "allow use by non root user" and "synchronous PPP"

Changed "Masquerading" to "Stand-alone". All failed.

Please advise. TIA

no bugfix, just a workaround:
install, and run "adsl-start" in a console.
"adsl-stop" to disconnect.
"adsl-status" for connection-infos.
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Internet/adsl-start.pup (13 kb)

It should work immedeatly, when you have set up your account with roaring penguin.
If it does not, please post the errors (select text with mouse, insert to a message with middle mouseclick).

Hi MU,

Tks for your advice.

# adsl-status/adsl status/adsl-start/adsl start, etc. all
-bash command not found

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Internet/adsl-start.pup (13 kb)

whether I need to install above file?

I can't resolve why connection worked yesterday and failed today.

Yes, you must install that.
You can download it in windows, for example to C:\.

Normally, in Puppy C:\ is mounted as /mnt/home.
Or mount your windows drive with "Start - Filemanagers -> MUT".
Then click on the dotpup in ROX-filer.

Also try this:
look for
/etc/resolv.conf
and
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf

In former versions of Puppy there was a bug with roaring penguin, it created wrong files.
You could try to rename them.
But I think that bug was fixed, so I don't think it is the reason. Just an idea.

I'll download the package on another Linux box.

Normally, in Puppy C:\ is mounted as /mnt/home.
Or mount your windows drive with "Start - Filemanagers -> MUT".
Then click on the dotpup in ROX-filer.

Whether MUT refers to "Media Utility Too"? On its window I can't find "doptup" there.

Start --> Filemanger --> ROX-Filer file manager
"ROX-Filer file manager" is here

Hi MU,

look for
/etc/resolv.conf
and
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf

Checked both files. Identical Primary and Secondary nameservers (ISP's DNS) were there.

The connection seemed working on "pings" with signals/curve displayed. I can't find out why it was stopped.

On pings

Code: Select all

.... Host name lookup failure

login, password, etc. were correct.
Remark: I left this bar on "Basic" tag empty

Connection only worked on first day after burning Puppy LiveCD.

I have the same problem when trying to start ADSL connection.

I installed Puppy 1.08r1 using frugal install.

Hi Leon,

It looks to me a little bid funny. Immediate after burning Puppy CD it worked without problem, but only once. Why???

Hi folks,

I found another strange thing on puppy-1.0.8r1-mozilla. After rebooting the PC all data entered for connection on pppoe was still there. Even after poweroff and restarted the PC, the data won't be erased. I can't resolve its reaseon. Usually once reboot all data on RAM will be lost.

I'll download a new package and burn another CD to see what will happy. I use CD-RW. CD-RW worked on all LiveCD tested by me previously.

Hi Leon,

I burnt another Puppy Live CD running puppy-1.0.8-mozilla. PPPoE is now working, connecting to Internet without problem. I tried at least "reboot" twice and "poweroff" once. Hoping that it will continue to work.

# find / -name pup001
/mnt/home/pup001

I haven't mounted any device nor partition on HD. Where is /mnt/home

ls -al /mnt/home

It seems a RAMDISK. However on reboot it is still there.

Can you or any folk on the forum shed me some light. TIA

I haven't mounted any device nor partition on HD. Where is /mnt/home

On my computer Puppy is saved on Windows 98 SE (FAT32) partition. I start Puppy using Grub menu. My computer has 256 MB RAM and Puppy is loaded into RAM. All changes are saved to pup001 file in root directory of the hard disk. It is created at first boot. Its path is C:\pup001 in Windows, or /mnt/home/pup001 in Puppy. Puppy mounts /mnt/home at startup.
