Hi all, I am having major problems trying to get satellite NBN access, nothing so far has worked, there's NO information relating to Linux and the NBN at ll particularly for satellite. I have no one who I can even discuss what I can do with. Apparently if one is running Linux in a rural area one is completely "snookered". Last thing I tried is I purchased an Netcomm NF4V route but I cannot login in to configure it. Its status lights indicate ping packets reach the router but it does not respond. It uses an IP address of 192.168,20.1, I suppose this does not work as it appears to be outside the 256 item address range of a standard Debian setup. Although I have been using Linux for a long time I have little experience on networking as I have never really run a network here, hence the problems. And I am certainly ABSOLUTELY NOT going to run windows just to get internet access Any help would be appreciated. May in the end be best just to forget about any kind of decent internet access, no point in banging ones head against the wall forever. I wonder if the local library or community house has internet access. A VERY frustrated Lindsay
