 Please address your linux-newbie messages to
linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org
 and not to 
linux-newbie@hartford-hwp.com
 and not to
nc8q@gelm.net without linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org

 as I cannot 'reply' to linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org
 without adding that address manually &
 I see no reason to reply to you alone.

 If you cannot do this, I'll edit to suit. ;-)

 Yes, AFAIK, the eth# device that PPPOE is going to use should be up.
However, it should not have an IP address.

 This is your choice for ppp#: demand or permanent.
For a DSL connection, I recommend permanent, especially if you are
having problems with demand.

Who is running Red Hat 8.0 and Roaring Penguin?

 I run Roaring Penguin v3.3 and it created IPCHAINS.
I run kernel 2.2.19 as it uses IPCHAINS by default.
IIRC, kernel 2.4.x uses IPTABLES by default.

So, perhaps your Roaring Penguin installation created an
IPCHAINS ruleset and your kernel is using IPTABLES.

Again:

- Create an IPTABLES ruleset for your current kernel.
  Roaring Penguin did not do this. (?)

- Rebuild your current kernel to use IPCHAINS.
  The IPCHAINS ruleset you choose when you configured Roaring Penguin.

Chuck. I quite understand. Somehow a CC: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org
got in there, and so when I replied, it was reproduced. The header of
this message looks clean, and so it's a kind of test. It goes to you,
and a CC: for the list and back to me.

Yes, the eth0 is up and running. The problem was that the
configuration utility gave me the choice of a static address or DHCP,
and I was unable to enter " ". I can get back to the files themselves,
but right now on the machine I'm using, I have a permanent address for
my machine (192.168.0.1) that is simply ignored when I set up a DSL
connection.

I simply killed that unwanted ppp0, and it goes better.

> Who is running Red Hat 8.0 and Roaring Penguin?

15% of all linux users? ;-)

With eth0 up and running, and having defined the inteface property in
network configuration, I then proceed to configure Roaring Penguin.

Before I do I run adsl-status and am told, naturally, that there's no
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file. I then proceed to configure Roaring Penguin
(I'm comfortable with that), and at the end save the
configuration. However, no /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file shows up.

Then I start adsl and get: ipchains: protocol not available. My first
reaction was that iptables were blocking ppp, but now I don't think
so. Nevertheless, when I run

      ipchains -L ...  REJECT tcp anysource anydest tcp
      flags:SYN,RSG,AC...

However, I can read the error above to mean that ipchains is telling
me there's no ppp protocol running. That, with the absense of a
configuraion file, suggests that Roaring Penguin failed to configure
pppoe. I did all this as root, but I'll have to check permissions,
etc. to make sure the configuration file can be created. Also, I can
try importing my old config file, which should be the same.

 To remove the IPADDRESS from eth0, do
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up

Naw, not how many or percentile, but who, specifically,
can help us with a replica of your system.  ;-)

locate pppoe.conf
 on my system reports:
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
/usr/local/rp-pppoe-3.5/configs/pppoe.conf

 I think that 'adsl-setup' should have created a
'pppoe.conf' file.  Where it was placed, I'm not sure.

- I think that the default Red Hat 8.0 kernel uses
   IPTABLES and not IPCHAINS.  
- I think that rp-pppoe_v3.x uses IPCHAINS and not IPTABLES.

- I think that when (if?) adsl-setup creates an IPCHAINS ruleset
   it is useless to your kernel as your kernel is expecting
   an IPTABLES ruleset.  :-|

   locate pppoe.conf
    on my system reports:
   /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
   /usr/local/rp-pppoe-3.5/configs/pppoe.conf

    I think that 'adsl-setup' should have created a
   'pppoe.conf' file.  Where it was placed, I'm not sure.

This turned out very interesting. Despite the message I quote, roaring
penguin under RH8.0 no longer stgores its configuration in
/etc/pppoe.conf. I know it stores info becasue when I rerun adsl-setup
I see it, but there's now no pppoe.conf file.

    Give Ray what he asked for. 
     "uname -a", "ifconfig -a", & "netstat -nr".  

I will when I can. switching hard disks when there's a bunch strung on
three different scsi channels is a pain.  So I have to leap in and out
fairly quickly. I'll get the info and pass it along asap.

    I've edited some IP addresses.  Here are mine:

Thanks. Info appreciated. I'll compare at this end as soon as I can.

And here is my pppoe.conf for your perusal:

   DNS1=
   DNS2= 000.000.000.000 ;-)

What's this? I have some onfiburation in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg.conf. It is somewwhats like your
own. But you have a much bigger ppp0e timeout value, and I may try
that because I'm begginng to seuspec a timing problem.

Here's the result of my run today:

========================

a) redhat-config-network. It shows both eth0 (ethernet) and ppp0 (xDSL)
as being inactive.

========================

b) ifconfig shows etho0 up (how do I reconcile with the above?) and with 
no IP address.

========================

c) I bring to bring ppp0 by what I thought was a straightforward way:

# ifconfig ppp0 up
ppp0: unknown interface: No such device

========================

d) While adsl-start has not yet timed out:
 	
# ifconfig -a

e) Then adsl-start times out:

 I think that 'adsl-start' should be the way to create device ppp0.
 I think that you should not be forcing ppp0 up by hand.

 This looks good to me.

 Umm, is this a 'time-out' or a script execution failure?
 My adsl-start file has only 197 lines.
 A line nearly identical to your appears in my line 152:
"$CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
 Except my line is terminated with a "&".
 This line appears after a comment:

 This may be part of a problem.  Notice that your routing table
 has only a ppp0 device (not counting 'lo') and no eth0 device ...

 Likewise notice that ppp* is never mentioned in your IPTABLES ruleset,

 It appears that rp-pppoe has not modified your IPTABLES ruleset.

 I get the same results when I ping 206.73.20.40.
 100% failure.  So:

a. Sorry, I don't know Red Hat's 'redhat-config-network'.
b. You do not want eth# up.
   'ifconfig eth0 down' before running adsl-start.
c. Do not 'bring up' ppp0 yourself.  Let adsl-start do it.
d. '# ifconfig -a' looks perfect
e. I think 'adsl-start' fails rather than 'times out'.
f. Output of 'netstat -nr' looks fine.
g. Yes, kernel 2.4.x does not use IPCHAINS.
h. IPTABLES indicates no knowledge/use of ppp0.  :-(
i. I can ping your gateway too. ;-)
j. Not applicable.
k. I cannot ping your DNS either.

Conclusion:

- rp-pppoe-v? has not been correctly installed and/or configured.
  e.g. Your adsl-start script 'fails'.
  I suggest that if your version is not the 'current' one,
  download and install the current version from Roaring Penguin.
  I think that they have RPMs.  Hopefully a release that creates
  an IPTABLES ruleset is available.

- You do not have a 'working' iptables ruleset because ppp0
  is not mentioned.

 Your previous responses to adsl-setup are stored.
 If adsl-setup never created a configuration file,
 re-running it with the same responses might not create one either.

 Was there ever a /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file?

 I think I have said this before, several times before;
the eth# device that connects to the DSL modem should
not have an IP address (when you run adsl-start).

 rp-pppoe will not work if the eth# device already has an IP address.

 ppp0 gets the IP address (from adsl-start).

 The eth# device must be UP and RUNning and have no IP address.

 Suggestion:
 If you have both a DSL modem and a LAN, put another ethernet NIC
in the computer. A few dollars for an old 3c509, NE2000, whatever
card should be do-able.  Then let RedHat have its way with the eth0
device and configure RP-pppoe to use the eth1 device.

Chuck,

I've revisited my drive with RH 8.0, and while the situation is
different, not sure I've made much progress. After messing around last
time, after booting eth0 was not seen. And so I had to deal with that
first. Here's the result, which should be ok.

  # ifconfig -a

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:33284 (32.5 Kb)  TX bytes:33284 (32.5 Kb)

I had been running rp-pppoe 3.4-7, but now upgraded it to 3.5-1. When I
run adsl-setup to create a new configuration, I discovered that this
time a /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file is created. Clearly the distribution
copy of roarding penguin was broken. When I run adsl-start, I now get
a proper response and no hang:

    # adsl-start
  . Connected!

Now my interfaces are looking good:

  # ifconfig -a

However, I find that my routing table still missing eth0

  # netstat -nr
  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination  Gateway      Genmask         Flags MSS Window  irtt Iface
  64.252.160.1 0.0.0.0      255.255.255.255 UH     40 0       0 ppp0

  0.0.0.0      64.252.160.1 0.0.0.0         UG     40 0       0 ppp0

I check with route:

  # route
  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags ...   Use Iface
  1.160.252.64.sn *               255.255.255.255 UH    ...   0 ppp0
  127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     ...   0 lo
  default         1.160.252.64.sn 0.0.0.0         UG    ...   0 ppp0

So I try to add it:

  # route add eth0
  SIOCADDRT: No such device

I try to ping my gateway as reported by netstat above: 

  # ping 64.252.160.1

That is successful, but trying to ping the ppp0 address failed:

  # ping 1.160.252.64

And other pings failed.

Hi, Haines:

 That ppp0 IP address in your route looks odd.
1.160.252.64.sn 
            ^^^   ?
 Perhaps it is a truncated FQDN.  More...

 This may be a truncated fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
 and may not be ping-able.  Check with
# route -n
 instead.  I wonder what your (route -n) was before and after
adsl-start.

 Actually, I think that 'netstat -nr' is identical to 'route -n'.

 This is an external IP address.  This is great! :-)

 This is not the ppp0 address, 64.252.168.146 was.

> And other pings failed.

 ;-) What other pings?  Your other mention of an unpingable
 address was unpingable by others too.  :-|

 I can ping 'aol.com' and 'yahoo.com'.  Can you?
 This will test your DNS server.

 As per your report, everything looks fine...
 except your choice of IP addresses to ping.

HTH, Chuck

Haines -- You are not here reporting any problem with your configuration. 
Everything you list below is as it should be with PPPoE. In particular, 
your routing table does not list eth0 because you have (and need have) no 
routes that use it; it isn't even a configured interface (that is, no IP 
address). It just operates at the link level, where it provides an Ethernet 
link that encapsulates a ppp link (a different link-level protocol). The 
ppp link carries your network-layer (IP) traffic.

The next test is to try using the connection to the Internet that exists. 
As I already said, if you need an IP address that you know responds to 
pings, please feel free to use mine (which I listed in a prior message, or 
you can check the Received: headers here). Or just try doing whatever it is 
you actually do on this computer and see if it works.

The ping you specifically report trying that fails, namely

           # ping 1.160.252.64

no doubt fails because it is not your ppp0 address, which is (according to 
ifconfig) 64.252.168.146 . The address that fails is your gateway address 
in reverse order; I can't guess where you might have picked that up from.

Just to be completely clear on this, I **can** ping both your gateway 
address and your ppp0 address (but not the bogus address you report as your 
gateway in the ping test), suggesting that you are connected (though the 
second success may be a trick, depending on how the ISP implements ppp at 
its end). Here are my results:

autovcr@kuryakin:~$ ping 1.160.252.64

You say "And other pings failed", but that's too vague to troubleshoot (and 
your getting your own gateway address wrong gives me some cause for 
skepticism regarding parts of your report that I cannot check). Tell us 
what you tried to ping and EXACTLY how the pings failed (pings fail in many 
distinct ways, and the differences are informative).

The main problem you *may* still have is with DNS. Since the ISP DNS server 
address you are using does not respond to pings (and cannot be reached 
using traceroute), you *may* be trying to use the wrong address. So you 
first want to try doing things that use actual IP addresses, not FQNs. If 
actual addresses work but not FQNs, your options are

         1. Get the correct IP addresses for your ISP's nameserves in 
/etc/resolv.conf
         2. Run BIND (or an equivalent) yourself and bypass the ISP's 
nameservers (your ISP *might* block this, but it is rare for them to do so).
