PPTP client with Alcatel/Thomson SpeedTouch Home

PPTP connections are sometimes used in conjunction with the Alcatel/Thomson SpeedTouch Home DSL modems. You will need the PPTP client software and a pppd package for your distribution. PPTP may also be available as a package for your distribution.

Disclaimer: These steps may or may not be what you need to get your ADSL modem up and running. At least you will know what to look for when setting yours up. Look on the Internet for others using your ISP and see how they have configured their ADSL modems (if you have access to an Internet connection, of course :-))

The modems are commonly configured to have the static IP adres 10.0.0.138. You should configure your NIC to within the same network range (give it an ip address in the 10.0.0.* range). You should also add a route for your 10.0.0.0 address.

You should edit the file /etc/ppp/options.adsl (make a new file if it doesn't exist yet) and add the following options:

idle 0
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
nodetach
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 3

Edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and add the login and password you use to authenticate yourself to your ISP. A valid entry will look like this:

yourlogin * password *

You can now start up your connection with the following command on your shell command:

/usr/sbin/pptp 10.0.0.138 file /etc/ppp/options.adsl
