Editing such a problem is normally just possible by email, because of the complexity of the messages. Because the complex log messages can be saved on a floppy, any desired e-mail-access can be used.
Proceed as follows (as administrator root):
1. Please deactivate dial-on-demand as this is configured. 2. Routing table before establishing the connecting: route -n > messages.out 3. Set a tag in /var/log/messages with: echo "DSL-Test" | logger 4. Establish the connection: /usr/sbin/pppoed -F /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe -D -d 9 Since SuSE 7.2 respectively Kernel 2.4.4 use the command rcpppoed start 5. Routing table while the connection is established: route -n >> messages.out 6. Terminate the connection: killall -TERM pppoed 7. Get the messages from /var/log/messages with tail -n 200 /var/log/messages | grep -A 200 "DSL-Test" >> messages.out 8. Include several additional information by executing: procinfo >> messages.out ifconfig >> messages.out lsmod >> messages.out cat /etc/resolv.conf >> messages.out lspci -vv >> messages.out pnpdump >> messages.out 9. Include the content of the file messages.out (ASCII-text) directly into your email. If you´re using a different operating system to create this mail, proceed as follows: a) Recode the ascii-file into a DOS/Windows format: recode lat1..ibmpc messages.out Recode the ascii-file into a MacOS format: recode lat1..mac messages.out b) Save the file to disk: mount /floppy cp messages.out /floppy umount /floppy c) Copy and paste the content of this file under the other operating system direct into your answering mail as ascii-text. Don't use attachments!
