After running "sudo pppoeconf" successfully, the connection stays alive only for a few seconds before disconnecting by itself. They way I know its disconnected is because Firefox can open a web page from the internet immediately after completing "sudo pppoeconf" but a few seconds later reports "server not found" for all subsequent pages. This happens on both the LiveCD as well as the install versions of the release candidate. What can I do help isolate the source of the problem? |
After setting up "sudo pppoeconf" successfully or running "sudo pon dsl-provider" subsequently, the internet address and DNS server addresses (DNS1 and DNS2) is correctly obtained from my ADSL router/gateway/modem. This is confimed from /var/log/messages. Then /etc/resolve.conf is updated with the internet address and DNS servers and all is well. My connection is PPPOE and my ADSL router/gateway/modem is running in bridge mode with NAT. The problem starts when the dhclient first initiates a renewal of the dhcp internet address. In reply to this renewal request, the router/gateway/modem replies with only the internet address. So then when /etc/resolve.conf is updated, the DNS entries disappear. After that I am no longer able to connect to internet sites by name, only by number. |
