anyone using IPCOP with ADSL?

[lmfy2k]

hi guys, im using ipcop with virgin at the moment - finding it spot on, does the job very well.

in a few months time i will be leaving virgin and going with O2 broadband.

As o2 is adsl, how would i set up ipcop? would i put username/password into ipcop configuration page? or is this placed into the adsl modem itself?

at the moment its like this:

cable from outside ---> cable modem ---> ipcop box ---> 16 port switch ----> PCs

any ideas?

Thanks!

i noticed in one of the ipcop pages there is a page to setup adsl modems and passwords etc

would i need to use this aswell?

(with virgin, i didnt need to)

Thanks

i *think* 02 doesnt need username and password as i'm with bethere and i dont have to provide username/password in my router

be and 02 use same network

Check the be* forums, both official and unofficial, assuming as an o2 user you can get on the be* forums or they have an equivalent. You should be able to find info on running the bebox (or whatever o2 call it) in bridged mode so it's effectively a dumb modem, just like the one you use with virgin.

I'm with Be, and do something similar:

Speedtouch ADSL modem (bridged mode)------>Linux Box------>Switch--------->PCs

The external interface on the Linux Box, pickups a DHCP IP address from the Be network.

thanks for the info, looks like the key here is bridged mode.

The modem does this for you. You only need all the ADSL config when you have an internal PCI ADSL modem
