Hi!
I have received some feedback to my HOWTO pointing minor corrections, to
attached is the new version.
If there are ADSL users registered to an ISP , I would like to receive
their ISP string in the username (<username@<ISP> ) so I can put correct
info in this HOWTO.
Fast networking to you all!
Dani

Written by Dr. Daniel Arbel ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
ver 1.0 Aug 2000
ver 1.0.1 Sep 2000 - corrections for pap authentication and stoping
sessions.
ver 1.0.2 Jan 2001 - changes after the begining of commercial service.
DISCLAIMER: The info in this doc is based mostly on my own experience with
guest access to the israeli ISPs. Non guest access may differ
slightly. Please send me corrections if you find any.
INTRODUCTION
------------
The introduction describes the mechanism of windows installation. The
reason is that Bezeq technicians have NO idea about any other environment
and can provide no clue about how to connect a Linux box. They will not
describe the details of the connection in technical language because of
lack of knowledge. Diging in Bezeq installation and reading this
introduction will help you make the conclusions needed when connecting
your Linux box.
I describe here the details of Orkit equipment. If you have ALcatel gear
and it looks a bit different, try to use intuition... (I did not have the
privelage to use Alcatel ADSL ..).
1) The communication between the ADSL unit and the comp. is done by
ethernet NIC and it uses the following setup:
network 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 host: 10.200.1.1 adsl: 10.0.0.138
no dns, no domain , no gateway.
( i did not try to move the host to 10.0.0.x and encrease the mask).
2) bezeq will install a peace of (junk?) s/w that connects automatically to
their ADSL portal and activating your browser to show the main page. from
there you can surf to the service selection and connect to your ISP. This
is the front end hiding the things that actually take place:
3) connection is done by dialing (yes, dial up just like with a
modem) using the private network mechanism. the equivivalent dial setup is
as follows:
1) install ms private network adapter (this is done when Bezeq install ADSL
in your pc).
2) go to dial up networking and start the wizard to create a new
connection
3) for this connection, use Microsoft VPN adapter
4) host name is 10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1
5) once the connection icon is created, go to its properties and disable
netbeui, ipx etc (not so important)
6) start the connection. the username is <your userid>@<ISP> (for guest
access this will be guest@OXxxxxx where Xxxxx is your
chosen ISP with its first character in upercase (i.e. Actcom ) the letter
after the '@' is NOT zero . Note that guest access is not free of charge,
and in fact VERY expensive.
7) IF you receive a connection and are able to use it, you may go on to
Linux installation. If not, try to search in the registry (search for wow
) weather some details have been changes by Bezeq (most likely to change
are the username and ISP strings).
LINUX INSTALLATION (finaly ...
------------------------------
You should have no problem in installing a NIC for ADSL. Reduce the MTU to
1452 (ifconfig eth0 10.200.1.1/8 mtu 1452 )
use a kernel with ppp support and latest pppd (in my mandrake 7.1 , kernel
2.2.17 the version is 2.3.11).
the equivivalent of Microsoft VPN adapter is just the pptp .. get it
http://cag.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/PPTP/
the current version is 1.02
since pptp does not receive all the options as a command line parameter,
you have to enter the RELAY_PPP1 (see the introduction) into the source
file (is anyone out there willing to enhance this pptp s/w ?) :
change line 212 in pptp_ctrl.c to:
hton16(PPTP_WINDOW), 0, 0, 0, {"RELAY_PPP1"}, {0}
compile. Read the pptp docs to see that you have pppd in the proper place.
The authentication method is forced by the server. In order to cover both
options (pap and chap) create 2 identical files:
edit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets to include proper
lines like:
"<username>@<ISP> "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" "<your password>
In case you are not a registered user of any of the ISP you may select one
of the guest access (which is VERY expensive!):
"guest@OActcom" "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" "Bezeq"
and finaly, start a call:
pptp 10.0.0.138 debug user xxx@ISP remotename "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" defaultroute
netmask 255.0.0.0 mtu 1452 noauth
If everything goes well you should be connected, and your networking will
look something like that:
# netstat -r -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface

Stoping a session should be done as follows:
1) down the ppp0:
ifconfig ppp0 down
2) kill the pptp process:
killall pptp
