I noted that the connection now used PPPoE protocol (with encapsulate: LLC). Re-plugged the modem, made connection and checked the connection properties on the modem. Checked the log in the router, saw error message: "PPP fail: Timeout in LCP negotiation" I replaced the modem with the router to make connection but still it was unable to make connection. Their suggestion was reinstalling the driver of the modem.Īlthough I thought they did not understand the problem, I did their suggestion, reinstalled the modem driver and strangely connection worked using the modem. I concluded that there was a problem with the ADSL line so I called the ISP. Booted to windows and tried to make connection, but still there was no connection. My next try was checking whether there was a problem with the ADSL line so I unplugged the router and replaced it with the modem I got from the ISP (it is Speedtouch USB 330 ADSL Modem and it is not natively supported in linux). First try was resetting and reconfiguring the router to it's default setting provided by the ISP, but this had no effect.Īll indicator lamps of the router were on, except the on-line indicator. I found out that there were two main things causing the problems i.e.: the connection from ISP had been changed to PPPoE and the router needed updated firmware to be able to connect using PPPoE.īut before came to that findings, I had to go through long and tedious trial and error steps: Solving the above problem was easy, but how to find the solutions was not that easy for me. open the router web interface, go to the System Tools > Upgrade section and install the firmware from there extract it (since it's an exe file, I use 7zip on windows) and get this file: 3CRWDR100A-72_FW_V206T13.bin download the latest firmware (the firmware name is 3CRWDR101A-75_v1.10.00.A.exe) from here It turns out that the problem was caused by two things i.e.: the connection setting had changed from PPPoA to PPPoE and the router needed updated firmware to be able to connect over PPPoE. Some days ago, suddenly the router failed to make connection. For my internet connection at home I am using 3Com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless Router (model 3CRWDR101A-75)
