| − | ==== Q: How do I get my DSL to work that allready works on my windows xp in California? ====
| + | {{delete|out of date}} [[User:Werner P. Schulz|Werner P. Schulz]] 04:40, 13 January 2013 (MST) |
| − | A: the following instruction should work:
| + | |
| − | http://howto.htlw16.ac.at/at-highspeed-howto-2.html (German)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Alternate method, by a noob---for Knoppix 5.1.1 I don't claim to be an expert, but this worked for me! :-) (All these steps may not be necessary, but it worked for me-YMMV.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * From the Knoppix taskbar icon, -configure networking
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | netcardconfig
| + | |
| − | -try 'yes' to autoconfigure (This didn't work for me. No idea why.)
| + | |
| − | ifconfig
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * If the network interface card is correctly configured, you should see BOTH the 127.0.0.1 loopback interface AND a local network address. It takes up about 15 lines. If yes, you're golden, if not..
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * From another machine on the network, log on to the router. (Look at the instructions that came with your router for how to do this.) In my Siemens SpeedStream 2614 4 port DSL/Cable Router, the location is 192.168.254.254 and after logging in, the opening page shows the following:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | INTERNET Cable/DSL : CONNECTED WAN IP: 74.68.xx.yyy Subnet Mask: 255.255.240.0 Gateway IP: 74.68.ff.ggg DNS: 24.29.www.xyz
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In 'Simple Setup' the allowed range of IP addresses is defined.
| + | |
| − | * From your root shell, enter this sequence of commands:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | netcardconfig --select 'no' to manually configure the NIC
| + | |
| − | -enter an unused IP address in the acceptable range for your router
| + | |
| − | -when asked for the following, enter the information from the router:
| + | |
| − | -Subnet Mask: 255.255.240.0
| + | |
| − | (I accepted the default, 255.255.255.0, and it worked fine.
| + | |
| − | Like I said, I'm not an expert!)
| + | |
| − | -Gateway IP: (from your router) 74.68.ff.ggg
| + | |
| − | -Name server: DNS: 24.29.www.xyz ('Domain Name Server')
| + | |
| − | ifconfig
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | to see if network interface card is correctly configured, as above. If not, lather, rinse, repeat. If it is, try
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ping 192.168.254.254 (the IP address of the router above) and
| + | |
| − | ping 192.168.254.xxy (the IP address of the other machine)
| + | |
| − | (Hit <CTRL> C to stop the pinging!)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If this works, you're in!
