ADSL on Debian

[dochyde]

Hello I decided to install Linux on my real machine now.
I would like to know if anybody can give me a clear well explained HOWTO in order to get my Internet access on Linux.
I have an Ethernet Card D-Link520 + ADSL Alcatel Modem and Debian 2.2.17
Thanx alots........

Not sure how to do so on Debian. Is your nic up and running?

In the meantime, have your read the ADSL How-to's (which are probably installed on your system or available at www.linuxdoc.org)? (http://www.linuxdoc.org)?)

The setup of ADSL is most likely the same or close to the setup of cablemodems, which are a very popular topic here. A search for cablemodem or adsl may help.

Also check out the Networking section of the NHF's here for help on your ethernet card and more.

Well I got ADSL (PPPoE) running on debian. Really simple. Hit up www.roaringpenguin.com (http://www.roaringpenguin.com) and download their pppoe client.

NOTE: (if your server is going to run NAT or share the connection):

eth0: should be hooked into your lan. Assign it like 192.168.1.1

eth1: hooked into your modem. DO NOT ASSIGN A IP ADDRESS.

The roaring penguin software wont work if you give the eth interface hooked into your modem a ip address.

The dr. is right.

Make sure your nic is set up right in debian.

Un zip the roaring penguin package, cd to the dir you unziped it to, and type./go

Thats it. Piece of cake....
