RedHat9 ADSL Final Solution

The final solution of ADSL on RedHat9-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. The following is a detailed description. I have read a lot of articles about ADSL on LINUXSIR and LINUXFANS, but I have not solved the problem of ADSL Internet access on my REDHAT9. Today, there is really no way to re-establish connections and twists and turns, I finally got online (very excited and may not express it very well). I wrote down my process as a reference:
REDHAT default PPPOE problem, need RPM-E, then, install this www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/?pppoe-3.5.tar.gz (recommended by North South Brother) unzip and install: # tar zxvf rp-pppoe-3.5.tar.gz enter the extract directory to execute # sh./go
Then configure ADSL. Here, we need to use commands.
# Adsl-setup
Welcome to the Roaring Penguin ADSL client setup. First, I will runsome checks on your system to make sure the PPPoE client is installedproperly...
Looks good! Now, please enter some information:
USER NAME
>>> Enter your PPPoE user name (default XXX): Enter the ADSL user name here.
INTERFACE
>>> Enter the Ethernet interface connected to the ADSL modemFor Solaris, this is likely to be something like/dev/hme0.For Linux, it will be ethn, where 'n' is a number. (default eth0): If a network card is set to eth0
Do you want the link to come up on demand, or stay up continuously? If you want it to come up on demand, enter the idle time in secondsafter which the link shoshould be dropped. if you want the link tostay up permanently, enter 'no' (two letters, lower-case .) NOTE: Demand-activated links do not interact well with dynamic IPaddresses. you may have some problems with demand-activated links. >>> enter the demand value (default no): no need to write anything
DNSPlease enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. if your ISP claims that 'the server will provide DNS address', enter 'server' (all lower-case) here. if you just press enter, I will assume you know what you aredoing and not modify your DNS setup. >>> enter the DNS information here: Enter 202.96.134.20.the next DNS name is 202.96.168.68. // you can modify the information based on your needs.
PASSWORD
>>> Please enter your PPPoE password: enter the password >>> Please re-enter your PPPoE password: enter the password again
FIREWALLING
Please choose the firewall rules to use. note that these rules arevery basic. you are stronugly encouraged to use a more sophisticatedfirewall setup; however, these will provide basic security. if youare running any servers on your machine, you must choose 'none' andset up firewalling yourself. otherwise, the firewall rules will denyaccess to all standard servers like Web, e-mail, ftp, etc. if youare using SSH, the rules will block outgoing SSH connections whichallocate a privileged source port.
The firewall choices are: 0-NONE: This script will not set any firewall rules. you are responsiblefor ensuring the security of your machine. you are STRONGLYrecommended to use some kind of firewall rules.1-STANDALONE: Appropriate for a basic stand-alone web-surfing workstation2-MASQUERADE: appropriate for a machine acting as an Internet gatewayfor a LAN >>> Choose a type of firewall (0-2): Add 2 here
** Summary of what you entered **

>>> Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n )?
After that, press the y key. (The above is the content of the North South Brother article) do not rush to connect, REBOOT-N and then enter the network settings, stop ETH1 (My is using him) and then ADSL-STARTPING your DNS, if you can, congratulations! Some of the content may be different for your reference only. You can ping dns after connection!
