Internet Service Setup
Before installing any service, please read carefully the Overview section on this chapter.
Click on the GWSetup icon , choose the INTERNET
service and click the Install Services
button.
The Gate-and-Way INTERNET setup will be launched on a terminal window and you will be first asked to select if you want to install an ADSL (ethernet modem) account or a Dial-up (serial modem) one.
1) ADSL (ethernet modem)
Gate-and-Way will first update your Linux distribution for a later version of the ADSL software, if required, then you will be required to enter your account information
Enter your PPPoE user name: ISP_provided_user_name
Enter the ethernet interface connected to the ADSL modem: eth0
Do you want the link to come up on demand ?: no
IP address of primary DNS server: ISP_provided_ip_address (or type 'server' if your ISP claims that 'the server will provide DNS addresses')
Enter your PPPoE password: ISP_provided_password
Re-enter your PPPoE password: ISP_provided_password
Choose a type of firewall (0-2): 2 (MASQUERADE: Appropriate for a machine acting as an Internet gateway for a LAN)
Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)?: y
All done !. Internet configuration has been completed.
Now you can connect to and disconnect from the Internet by using the Gate-and-Way Control Panel (GWCP), as shown in Chapter 3 on this manual.
Clients enabled to surf the web by the GWCP must be configured to use the gateway, as shown in chapter 4 on this manual.
2) Dial-up (serial modem)
You will be required to enter your account information
Internet
S.Provider :? ISP_name Username :? ISP_provided_user_name Password :? ISP_provided_password Phone Number :? ISP_phone_number Standard Prompts (Y/N) : Usually Y, but if your ISP uses a not-standard login procedure maybe you have to enter N here. 1st DNS (Leave empty if automatically assigned) :? ISP_provided_ip_address (or leave empty if your ISP claims that 'the server will provide DNS addresses') 2nd DNS (Leave empty if automatically assigned) :? ISP_provided_ip_address (or leave empty if your ISP claims that 'the server will provide DNS addresses') Do you accept these values ? (Y/N) : Y |
Now turn your internet modem on, so Gate-and-Way can detect it.
Notice: If you have other modems attached to your pc (for faxes, voice etc.), turn them off.
All done !. Internet configuration has been completed.
Now you can connect to and disconnect from the Internet by using the Gate-and-Way Control Panel (GWCP), as shown in Chapter 3 on this manual.
Clients enabled to surf the web by the GWCP must be configured to use the gateway, as shown in chapter 4 on this manual.
