[ale] bellsouth dsl pppoe dhcp

[Mark Angeli]

Roaring Penguin handles it all.

You need to have two nics (eth0 and eth1). Eth0 is set to a hard IP address
and is plugged in to your HUB so the other computers on your net work can
see it.

Eth1 does not need to have an IP address assigned to it.

When you run adsl-setup (RP's setup utility) you specify that the link to
the dsl modem is eth1 and it handles it from there.

Select the right stuff, plugin your username/password and you're all set.

I've set up two such systems with a slackware/rp firewall and they've been
great so far!

Subject: [ale] bellsouth dsl pppoe dhcp


I'm trying to setup a firewall with bellsouth dsl.  Although the ip is
static, the currently configured hardware is Windows based, and is using
dhcp and pppoe for connectivity.  A couple of questions:

For a linux box, do you need dhcp and pppoe or does the roaring penguin
stuff handle the dhcp stuff?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
