I am unable to get my Telstra adsl working. I'm trying to upgrade from dial-up and I thought I did a lot of research, but I have failed to get anywhere with the adsl and I need help. The adsl unit is a Technicolor modem/router TG799vac. I hooked it up and the lights flashed but the Status and Internet lights remained red. I tried to get into the unit with firefox and midori but both failed to reach the modem's address http://10.0.0.138 which is the address on the unit. I am running network.service and it's up. The config for my ethernet connection which goes into the ethernet socket on the modem is: [ben@til network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-enp63s0 TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=no NAME=enp63s0 UUID=6479f67e-53e7-4953-a796-cf3d3f770b2f ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:1E:0B:2C:8E:22 PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPADDR=192.168.0.3 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 USERCTL=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no PREFIX=24 This config was part of my home network and I didn't change it before I plugged everything in and powered up. I tried to make a route to the modem with: #route add default gw 10.0.0.138 but I get "network is unreachable" but 'systemctl -a |grep network' shows network service loaded and active. So, I'm stuck. In my research before hand I came across many posts saying: "just plug it in, use the browser to configure it and off you go." I did get comfort from that, but my experience is of failure. What can I do to get this modem working? My distro is fedora 22 and I don't run a desktop, just a window manager and am used to doing most things on the command line. -- Thanks. ben bnis@fastmail.fm
