How to connect my box to Internet

Hi all,

Googled a lot, and also searching in this forum, but nowadays, no connection with my Lynksis router. No net, only one pc to connect to web.

Background: dual-boot system:
  • Windows use about 10 %
  • Opensuse 12.2
  • FreeBSD 9.0

Everything works fine with Opensuse and Windows, but FreeBSD, not the same thing. First, before sending /etc/rc.conf and /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, I'd like to know one thing:

  • Interfaces lo0: loopback OK
  • xxe0: ethernet adapter xx for driver and 0, first ethernet card on my pc OK
  • fwe0: ethernet over firewire - must I give this for configuring my adsl router?
  • fwip0 ip over firewire - As previous, is it for configuring my adsl box?

Thanks a lot, made numerous trials and only following message:
Code: 
   ppp -ddial
   working in ddial mode
   Warning: No default entry found in config file
   Using interface: tunx 
    ppp -ddial Orange
in /var/log/messages
Code: 
No label configuration found

All the best.

Your Linksys router is already connecting to the internet. There shouldn't be a need for PPP. Just turn on DHCP on the interface and let the router supply the addresses.
 
Are you using a DSL internet? Which would need the PPP. You would set up your router for that stuff. Yet, from what I see it seems that the router is getting the internet and your computer with different OS'S can get internet but just not FreeBSD 9.0 can't. Then it has to be something wrong with the internet connection setup with FreeBSD. Maybe it's not enabled? But I doubt you need to actually set it up with PPP. That would need to just on the router side of things.

So you need to turn off that PPP. Set up your computer to automatically grab an IP from the router. The PPP should be there unless your computer is directly connecting to your DSL modem. If not and your router is connected you then need to setup PPP in your router. Sometimes different internet companies and different DSL modems don't need to have your router setup to use PPP.

So right now like you said sounds like the OS internet config is the problem only in freebsd FreeBSD 9.0.

My suggestion is to go in there and change it from PPP to grab an IP from the router.

I think the problem is that your config is set up to PPP which it's trying to connect directly to your DSL modem but you have it connected to your router.
 
How to connect my box to Interne

Hi all,

Thanks for your advices.

I don't know why, but it works; yesterday I used it to download software with make install and make clean, in /usr/ports.

But as a newbie, I'm going to follow advice about using dhcp.

Thanks.
