Hi Cameron, Telecom do not use PPPOA on their DSL networks, only Telstra do through the new Ericcson DSLAM's. The DSL-302G does not support PPPOE-PPPOA conversion so you will not be able to terminate PPPOE to your linux machine. Your best bet is to follow the instructions posted on the WLUG wiki by myself and others that tell you how to get the 302G into "half-bridge" mode. In this mode it will pass the real world IP through to your linux box using DHCP. I have successfully used DSL-302G's in a lot of implementations, and fixed problems other people have had with them, mostly due to their lack of understanding of how to configure them. If you have any queries, just post them on here and I will see if I can help. Regards, Andy Camster342 wrote:
Well i've had a lot of trouble with my adsl modem over the years... All probably being due to my very crappy DLink 302G adsl modem. It has slowly become the bane of my existence...
So what I want to do is, one of two things:
If possible I would like to get the 302G modem running in bridge mode, so that I can connect to it with pppoe. I have tried numerous times, but my linux box refuses to see the "Access Concentrator" when I try to set up pppoe. I've followed the instructions from DLinks site to use bridge mode, and I've tried using the updated firmware too. Both to no avail. Has anyone managed to get this modem working in full bridge mode, (not the half-bridge mode detailed on the wlug site)?
The second option is to buy another modem. I want to try using a internal ADSL modem this time. Does anyone know which modems that are available in New Zealand work under Linux?
