I am trying to connect to the internet using a debian distro but I can not even connect to my router. I have 3 other debian based distros on the same machine that are all able to connect. I tried to go into the router via telnet but when I type in the router address 198.168.1.1 I get the reply that is was unable to establish a connection. I also went into my /etc/resolv.conf file, which I had to create, and entered the primary and secondary DNS addresses. and set nameserver to the above router address. I have had a look at Linux.org beginers guide on how to connect but I do not get further than telnet connecting to the router. Can some one please guide me through what I need to do to connect this distro to the Internet. I have looked at the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces files in distros that work and made changes to these files in demudi but I still can not access the internet from it. When I go to PPPoE setup it says that it has found one device, eth1, and when I tell it to set it up it says that it fails.
Please could you give us the error messages verbatim? (actually, see below) What is eth0 doing?
I have been struggling for some time on this now. I have googled and read the demudi FAQ but just can not find anything that enables me to get this distro to connect to the internet. If someone can at least point me in the right direction that would be of some help.
Hrm, this really is a demudi-specific question. It's possible that demudi doesn't have PPPoE supported properly for some reason. It's probably worth opening a ticket here: http://demudi.agnula.org/newticket if it works using vanilla Debian on the same hardware, then you may well have hit a bug. It doesn't look like you are doing anything 'wrong'.
Please come and hassle people on users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, you probably won't get a lot of interest in this problem here. I'm really sorry to hear that this is still a problem, despite your best efforts to solve it.
cheers, tim hall
