Problem:
Lynx is unable to access document or ping gives "No
route to host" but the link is stable!
Solution: Have a look at
the output of route -n you should see a
refenence specifing a gateway of either your Remote PPP IP
and using the adapter/dev of ppp0. If not here is how to fix it. In
your /etc/ppp/ip-up file above
exit 0 on the last line type:
route del default
route add default gw $4 $1 |
Save the file and redial. The problem should be solved.
Problem:
When PPPd attempts to access the ATM device it crashes.
Solution: The kernel was
probably compiled on a different type of processor. I tried to get
the kernel compiled quicker by compiling the kernel on my 950Mhz
Duron, even with the processor type to suit the target 266Mhz Cyrix
the ATM module crashes. So dont take short cuts and compile on the
target processor.
Problem:
When you have compiled the Speedtouch Kernel driver (speedtch.o) trying to insmod/modprobe returns: "Unresolved symbol: _mmx_memcpy" or similar.
Solution:
Right, I haven't got a concrete answer here but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet so here goes. I found this error come up when I recompiled my kernel once. It did it the first time but I forgot how to fix it. A combination of things fixed it for me:
Configured the kernel module support to ignore kernel version checking
Recompiled SARlib (this is what ultimately fixed it) before recompiling speedtch.o
Recompiled speedtch.o and reinstalled. Et voila!
As I said I can't be sure about this one but it worked for me.
Problem:
When you pick up the phone there are strange noises present, more over
the use of the phone line causes the internet to disconnect.
Solution:
You seem to have something which I thing is called cross-frequency. The
ADSL modem works by sending data down the unused frequencies of you
copper phone line. If the hardware is set up so the ADSL and phone
ranges overlap the two can receive each other's data. Ring BTO Customer
Support and they should be able to help.
