Linksys Wireless-N Gateway
This chapter describes how to set up a DSL connection on the example of a Linksys Wireless-N Gateway and SUSE Linux 11.1 and Deutsche Telekom as ISP. However, the procedure should be same or similar for all DSL modems and distributions. The Linksys Wireless-N Gateway is a WLAN router with integrated DSL modem, so this article refers to it as "your DSL modem".
- Connect your DSL splitter to your phone box
- Connect your DSL modem to your DSL splitter
- Check that the "DSL" connection light is illuminated
- Connect your computer via wired network to the DSL modem
- Assign your computer the IP 192.168.1.2:
- open a console and enter
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
- Use firefox to surf to your DSL modem, IP is 192.168.1.1
- Enter administrator name and password, see the Linksys description if you do not know it
- Enter your DSL provider's name (e.g. Deutsche Telekom) and your account data in the Linksys' web interface
- Check that the "Internet" connection light gets illuminated
- Check your internet connection by pinging a name server:
ping 8.8.8.8
FritzBox
