DSL (I love linux)

[flashingcurser]

My DSL was suposed to be provisioned on the 10. I have been setting up a (slackware/nat/firewall) router in anticipation, so for the last 3 days I thought something was screwed up in my set up.

Well, today I get a call today from my isp:

"Sir, we believe that something is wrong with your equipment, we have been unable to ping your IP. Oh, and we are sorry that it took so long getting you provisioned"

Me "Thats ok, it just my firewall" ;D


Everything worked (almost ) perfect!!


Thanks guys for all the great info 8)

The only thing that didnt work was a TTL module that didnt load, its not compiled. Oh well, another thing to fix in the cold Montana winter
