hi, well, i have been able to "connect", according to the DSL software i installed, but i don't seem to be getting anything down to my side of the connection. the modem lights flash a little, but when i try to e.g. FTP or download some packages, nothing happens. it just sits there at 0%, doing nothing. as far as i can tell, everything's working - and the dsl works fine on the mac side. the dsl package i got was very specifically written for my ISP's particular quirks, and was very easy to install (once i got the proper C compiler...).
as far as i can tell, i haven't missed anything. i've configured for my localhost, the appletalk connection, everything. i don't know if this is any use, but i'm posting some of the relevant (AFAIK) boot messages (i'll post the relevant log if need be): GRE over IPv4 tunneling driver IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling driver IPv6 v0.8 for NET4.0 IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver NET4: AppleTalk 0.18 for Linux NET4.0 ipddp.c:v0.01 8/28/97 Bradford W.

PPP Deflate Compression module registered PPP BSD Compression module registered eth0: no IPv6 routers present registered device ppp0 now, i dunno if i have to remove, activate, or whatever thing that's blocking or should activated. when i do connect, i get this from adsl-status (doing it from memory): ppp0: UP NOARP POINTTOPOINT HW: xx:xx:xx:xx:... IP: (one for my assigned IP, and another for the ISP's IP) (various RTX and other packet stuff here) with ifconfig, i get the additional UP connection of the eth0, as well as the ppp0. i i've checked all the man pages, docs, and other stuff, and there doesn't seem to be a problem, but like i said, nothing happens. (i did find a firewall). the physical setup is two macs hooked up to a hub, with the modem on the same hub, and the 2 macs communicating over appletalk (installed netatalk on the debian side). when i'm on the debian side, the quadra sees the appletalk IP side in the chooser, and prefers to connect over AT-IP, and not the local connection, but does see the appletalk. do i need to have 2 ethernet cards on the powermac, so it can actually connect to the net, or would it work like on the mac OS side? TIA, eric
