Connecting pptp to Alcatel Speedtouch

Hi,

did any one of you succeed in getting an (A)DSL connection via Speedtouch?

I did set:
0 X name=“pptp-out1” max-mtu=1460 max-mru=1460 connect-to=10.0.0.138 user=“x@y” password=“Z” profile=default add-default-route=yes allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2

using my normal login name and password.
I connected to eth1: 10.0.0.123/24 and I can ping the 10.0.0.138

If I understand your question correctly, you want to use your router “behind” an ADSL modem. (ADSL is the connection toyour ISP)

I use ADSL at home.
Most Ext modems (Ones that supply Eth. output) have the “client” software on them. in my case the modem does the authentication to the ISP and then passes the bridged (for static IPs) connection to the Eth. port. The router has no clue that the connection is ADSL.

Check your modem for 'Client settings".


Hope this helps..

Unfortunately I have an old modem.
It uses what I think is called PPPoA/PPTP.
I used to have a Linux Floppy firewall to make the connections, that used a combination of pppd and pptpd (and also made a lot of noise…)
