7 I have a combined ADSL modem/router that logs on and coverts ADSL into
8 ethernet. The only difference from ordinary LANs is that I have to run
9 with MTU 1454. The ifconfig command gives output like...
10
11 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:64:77:57
12 inet addr:192.168.123.252 Bcast:192.168.123.255 Mask:255.255.255.248
13 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1454 Metric:1
14
15 I have no ADSL support compiled in. Instead, my eth0 connects to the
16 ADSL modem/router. Is your system possibly set up like that?
