Install at&t yahoo dsl on linux os
If you are having trouble trying to install at&t yahoo dsl on your linux os, then hopefully this guide will show you how to set up at&t yahoo dsl on your linux pc. In my guide on how to setup att dsl, I will be using Mandriva linux, but this tutorial show also apply to many other linux distributions. Also in my tutorial on installing at&t yahoo dsl on a linux os, I will be using a 2wire 2700hg-b wireless router, but this guide should also work for other 2wire routers that at&t ships out.
The first thing that you must do to install at&t dsl on your linux machine is setup up your ethernet adapter to connect using dhcp. In the mandriva linux distro, you would go to:
- Menu
- Tools
- System Tools
- Configure your Computer
Then once the window below appears, you would then click on the Network and Internet tab on the left side, then click on setup a new network interface.
Once you open the “setup a new network interface” tab, click ethernet and click next.
Then select your nic card from the list and click next.
Select automatic Ip BOOTP/DHCP
Now you would put a check mark next to Get DNS servers from Dhcp and a check mark next to Assign host name from Dhcp address.
After you have completed the above, you should now have a working ethernet adapter on your linux distro. The next thing that you are going to want to do is begin to register your at&t yahoo dsl account on your linux pc. To start registering your account, all you have to do is open a web browser. I recommend using Konqueror, if you are using KDE as your desktop; I had problems with mozilla firefox. After you open your browser, you should have a windows that resembles the one below.
The next thing that your are going to install at&t yahoo dsl on your linux os is type in https://sbcreg.sbcglobal.net/ into your web browser. This should open a web page that shows the current at&t members agreement. All you have to do now is click on the “I Agree” button, to continue the registration process of your At&t dsl account
After you agree to the terms, you should now be able to input your telephone number and begin setting up your new email and membership account and password. Note - Make sure you remember this information, you are going to need this information later on.
After you have setup your new at&t account, what you are going to want to do is set a password on your router. To set a new password on your 2wire router, open a web browser and type in 192.168.1.254 which should open the default gateway. If successful you should now have a window that looks like the one below. Now all you have to do now is create a password for your router and click the next button.
After you have set the password on your router, the default gateway page for your 2wire router should now appear. Once you see the default gateway page, click on “Run System Setup Wizard”.
The next thing that you have to do is input a activation key code into your 2wire router. For a list of activation codes for your 2wire router.
After you activate your 2wire router, you are going then have to set a time zone for your router. After you set your time zone, the set up connection info windows should open. Once you see the below window, you will then input the username and password you created earlier.
Just fill out your personal information into the forms and click the register button.
As long as the server is up and running, you should have now completed in registering your 2wire router. After you see a window that looks like the one below, all you have to do now is reboot your web browser. After you close and then reopen your web browser, you should now be able to surf the internet. If you have troubles, try reboot your linux pc. If you are still having trouble, here are few hints: Web browser displays page not found - There is a problem with the way you set up your ethernet connection. Try re setting up your dhcp settings on your ethernet adapter, so if you automatically set you ip, dns and hostname.
