That is what I thought. However, when bringing up the DSL device
(called it BigPond), it times out, as does the device created by
adsl-setup.
[root@NEC ~]# /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down interface eth1: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface BigPond: /sbin/adsl-start: line 214: 4367
Terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1
[FAILED]
[root@NEC ~]#
Both eth1 and BigPond devices are set to DHCP and the router is giving
an address in the 10.0.0.* range, its address is 10.0.0.138 and can
access it using Mozilla to view its logs also.
Is it something in the network device setup, or is the firewall
interfering?
