I am using the adsl modem connect the internet, however I was easily using the given script to connect the internet with DSL version 1.2 but not the versions afterward.

I am using the same hardware configuration, please advise!

make sure your ethernet card is up and running
dsl@box>ifconfig -a
you should get a loopback and an eth0 or something, anyway loopback and your ethernet device should both be coming up
if so then move on to next stage.

Desktop:
Click DSLpanel:
Netcardconfig: follow onscreen guides
click PPPOE: follow onscreen guides

oh yeah and ADSL probably uses dhcp so make sure you have that button depressed.

thats best i can come up with i'm still newb tho maybe someone with more experience will have other answers.

Thank you! Rob

I tried your steps given before, I knew that, but it didn't work with 1.2 version or after.

I found in other forum, someone with this problem, more or less the same.  It worked with me.

I would like to share with you all.

Just manually type the below command in the terminal:
#route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 ppp0

Then I can connect to the internet.

Anyone know what happened to my settings?  Please advise!

Many thanks with Rob
