Hello everyone,
I've just connected to the nbn (FTTC) but can't get my debian computer onto the internet.
I tried changing /etc/resolv.conf to:
search gateway
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
but it failed. If I write into the file: domain gateway
"gateway" appears red, and it fails.
Before this nbn, the adsl modem was 10.0.0.138, which was in the resolv.conf but that didn't work, so it had to be deleted. The new modem has printed on its label:
http://mymodem
It's a Telstra Smart Modem Generation 2.
I tried to bring up http://mymodem in the browsers firefox and w3m but both failed.
My /etc/network/interfaces is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug enp3s0
iface enp3s0 inet6 auto
I've searched for info to help, but haven't succeeded. There are some GUI tools on ubuntu I saw, but I don't have them and I want to get the configuration that works into the relevant files.
So my question is, how can I get onto the internet with my debian computer with right configs?
Thanks.
ben

Free Software Melbourne and Linux Users Victoria are celebrating the 16th
annual Software Freedom Day celebrations in Melbourne and we're going to be
hosting a series of talks about using Free and Open Source Software in the
real world.
We're going to be talking about what even is Free and Open Source software
and why is Free Software so important we want to dedicate a whole day to
it. We're also going to talk about using free software for audio
production, and how open source is used in the development of open hardware
and some demonstrations of projects you could even build yourself. We'll
also be having plenty of networking opportunities and introductions to many
of Melbourne's Free and Open Source technology groups and organizations.
Entry is free any time and Software Freedom Day is a family friendly event
welcoming to anyone, pass on the word to help make it a great day for
everyone. We do have a code of conduct on our website, but in short: Be
respectful. Be mindful. Work together.
We'll have light snacks and sodas available gratis throughout the afternoon
and at the conclusion of the day we usually continue discussions over
dinner along the nearby Errol st, so feel free to join us if you're
enjoying the conversations.
Hope to see you all at Electron Workshop on the 21st for another exciting
