ADSL @ home
HURRAY!
My ADSL connection has finally been moved!
Six and a half weeks after I emailed IPact about my new address (on May 10), and two weeks after the connection has been terminated at my old address, I now have a working ADSL connection at my new home.
DHCP in Debian
Why doesn’t my DHCP client work in Debian?
I’ve got my ADSL connection working alright in Windows, but of course I want to get it to work with Debian also (dual boot on the same machine).
In Windows I’ve checked the “Obtain IP address automatically” checkbox, and it all works fine. My modem / router hands out the IP address 192.168.1.3. Great! But when I boot Debian, I get no response from the DHCP server whatsoever.
I’ve been connected
Starting today I’ve finally got ADSL at home.
Thanks to the TU Delft and Infopact, who provided me with a free 1024 / 512 kbps connection!
I’ve got it all set up, connected the wires and splitter and stuff. It’s a bit tricky at our place, because we have a home switchboard (for 1 external and 4 internal phone lines) and separate lines for the modems (because the “ancient” switchboard cannot handle the modem signals). So I have placed the splitter before the switchboard, and used the separate modem line for the ADSL signal. The one cable going to the second floor has two wires for one of the internal phone lines and two wires for the ADSL line.
