[techtalk] ADSL - Progress, but...

[Just This Girl]

Thank you for all your responses so far... they have been of great
assistance.

However, I am still having a problem. What follows are captures of
'ifconfig', 'route', and 'arp'. I can connect and interact with the
Internet through my Windows98 partition without issue. The linux
partition still refuses.

Note: xxx.yyy.zzz is my network, which is a public /29 range. (8 ips, 5
usable by me)

#ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:20:AF:A2:56:D9
          inet addr:xxx.yyy.zzz.242  Bcast:xxx.yyy.zzz.255

default         xxx.yyy.zzz.256  0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0
eth0

After performing 'ping xxx.yyy.zzz.241' and 'ping 206.124.64.253',
#arp -a
sol.paxumbrae.com (xxx.yyy.zzz.241) at <incomplete> on eth0
gateway.paxumbrae.com (xxx.yyy.zzz.246) at <incomplete> on eth0

Again, my ANT's IP is xxx.yyy.zzz.241

I gather that the arp -a result is a symptom of what is wrong...
Under win98, the arp after the same pings  is:

Interface: xxx.yyy.zzz.242 on Interface #x#######
Internet Address    Physical Address        Type
xxx.yyy.zzz.241    1#-##-##-##-##-##    dynamic
xxx.yyy.zzz.246    2#-##-##-##-##-##    dynamic

1#-##-##-##-##-## is a perminant MAC address on the ANT
2#-##-##-##-##-## is a dynamic MAC address on the ANT

It seems as though somehow Linux isn't getting these assignments from
the ANT?

Any help or doc pointers would be appreciated. The manual for the ANT
and the information from the line provider/ISP does not include
Unix/Linux setup information, besides stating that this equipment works
with Unix/Linux.
