Linux and verizon DSL work just fine. So does FreeBSD. -Chuck On Wed, 31 Mar 2004 12:35:39 -0500, Gregory Avedissian <avedis(a)rcn.com> wrote: > It seems like most of the providers say that you need windows or mac to > use their DSL or cable internet.

Looking for a used power supply

by Mike Peckar

One of my clone's power supplies died - it's a standard PC-like power supply, but the motherboard connector has 20 pins. I had some similar power supplies lying around, but they had more/different motherboard pinouts.. I'm willing to trade for a free beer after the next meeting.

RE: [Wlug] High-speed access questions

by Martin, Eric

It just means that they won't support it. Charter will add $30/mo I believe....Verizon Does PPoE, get get ready to recompile your kernel if you aren't using a router (which you are, so it doesn't matter). Once you have a router plugged in, your internet connection becomes just a regular lan, and TCP/IP takes over, not Verizon or Charter... -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Avedissian [mailto:avedis@rcn.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 12:36 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] High-speed access questions It seems like most of the providers say that you need windows or mac to use their DSL or cable internet.

High-speed access questions

by Gregory Avedissian

It seems like most of the providers say that you need windows or mac to use their DSL or cable internet. Does this just mean they won't offer tech support for linux, or does it mean that it won't work? I'm planning on using a router and having two computers connected. Has anyone had luck with linux and Verizon DSL? They're down to $35/month, and they give you the modem. Anyone know of better deals? Thanks. Greg

RE: [Wlug] RedHat 9 Network Problem

by Joel Young

I haven't had a chance to get the requested files off yet, but to answer your router question, pings don't seem to be going out the ethernet board at all, even when I setup a static IP. It's a netgear router which has a default address of 192.168.0.1. I also tried the Linksys default of 192.168.1.1. I also tried to ping other computers on my network. I'll try to get copies of the requests config files and post them here tonight. > -----Original Message----- > From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org > [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Martin, Eric > Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 11:16 AM > To: 'Worcester Linux Users Group' > Subject: RE: [Wlug] RedHat 9 Network Problem > > > He has a router in between, shouldn't have anything to do > with your ISP.

RE: [Wlug] RedHat 9 Network Problem

He has a router in between, shouldn't have anything to do with your ISP. Can you ping your router? Also, is it possible that your routers ip isn't 192.168.1.x? Maybe you did a firmware upgrade? -----Original Message----- From: aramico(a)duahati.com [mailto:aramico@duahati.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 8:47 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] RedHat 9 Network Problem Still get this problem ?

Still get this problem ? Try to call your ISP and ask him to reset the settting. It ussualy happens if you change the operating system between Windows and Unix/Linux. But, it ussually works fine too if you change the computer and or the operating system to Windows too, but not for other :(( After resetting, it should be fine.
