<HTML><BODY><DIV style='font-family: "Verdana"; font-size: 10pt;'><DIV>Hi,guys!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I compiled my slacware 10.2 kernel and installed rp-pppoe 3.5. After I pppoe-start, it says Connected!</DIV>
<DIV>But it screwed up the TCP-IP and the routing stuff, and it won;t ping the name server 204.101.251.1, either. I cannot ping 127.0.0.1 and other local hosts. If I do not pppoe-start, I can ping localhost and other host.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ifconfig is ok, ppp0,lo, eth0 and eth1 showing up there.</DIV>
<DIV>When I route</DIV>
<DIV>it takes a long time to show up</DIV>
<DIV>69.x.y.z(the ppp0's ip) * 255.255.255.0 UH ...</DIV>
<DIV>localnet U</DIV>
<DIV>localloop U</DIV>
<DIV>default U</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no UG.</DIV>
<DIV>I never understood route table completely. </DIV>
<DIV>The rp-pppoe documents says, it could be my old kernel. This is not the case, my kernel is 2.4.31. </DIV>
<DIV>The documents says feed the eth1 a fake it such as 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0. I did that. It did not work.</DIV>
<DIV>I remember, the eth1 could be 0.0.0.0 and mask 255.255.255.0</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I lived with Slackware and rp-ppp for many years and I never got problem. Probally I should get an older rp-pppoe?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My kernel is nothing new. I am just so greedy to utilize the memory. I has 1G memory and the kernel show only 900M. So I configured the kernel to memory 4G and HIGHMEM=y. After I got the new kernel I have 1G memory. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I cannot remember how I got it work before. Probally it was Slackware 10.0. Now it is 10.2.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The rp-pppoe guy said, he made the rp-ppppoe on FreeBSD. That is the closest to Slackware.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will look for older rp-pppoe and a newer Slackware, if you had a success story on the same environment, please give me a click. Thanks a lot!</DIV>
