Unless it's a weird device (I could not find it's specs anywhere, so I'm doing some guesswork here), it has a web interface. Probably it uses 192.168.0.1 or a similar IP address. If you connect your computer to it and it gets an IP address via DHCP, run /sbin/route and look for the Gateway address of the default route. Then point your browser to it and you should see the web interface. -- And I alone am returned to wag the tail.

The antenna is wholly contained inside the plastic box. 2Wire has built them this way since 2005, probably much longer. >> 2. 2wire says that this gateway has a builtin pppoe client.

He may have to plug into the wired ethernet port and hit the admin page of the 2Wire and plug in the PPPoE uname and pwd. After that his laptop should pick up an IP from the wireless AP and that's it. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

So support is, as usual, > non-existent. <snip> Sorry for the long delay... no system... As it urns out there is not much to do on the gateway´s web interface. All the defaults are OK by me per the 7 year old user guide on the installation disk of Telmex. That is copyrighted for 2003 and part of the info seems to be wrong, perhaps this also. How does one start the network with this gateway, given that it comes configured with pppoe client all set? ´iface eth0 inet dhcp´ That is the only way I can think of. Also I figured out that this Telmex 2wire gateway is defaulted for an ethernet connection but if you have a wireless adapter you can set the web interface to ´wireless´. I don´t have a wireless adapter. Thanks Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
