I can't believe how complicated the posts on this forum are,beyond my level.
Well here is how I got the Dlink DSL 320T working with Ubuntu version 9.04 in a simple way:-
I was unable to access the modem's web interface in linux, so I accessed it in Windows XP.
To access the modem's web interface in XP, set the NIC connected to the modem with a static address 192.168.1.2 from within the TCP/IP tab of the network interface connection menu.
The modem can then be reached by browsing to 192.168.1.1.
To see your connections in windoze use the command ipconf \all
log into the Dlink web interface username admin password admin
The firmware upgrade function is in the "tools" menu
I found the following firmware on the web:-
DLinkEU_DSL-320T_ZIPB_singleimage_kernel_fs_V3.10B01T01.EU.20070628
Download it, unzip it and upload the firmware file within the folder that you get when you unzip the downloaded archive.
7.after you download, the modem reboots.
8.before anything else, it is a good idea to use the button on the back of the modem to do a hardware rest, then power cycle the modem and power cycle the computer running windows XP
Access the new web interface of the modem in windows Xp as before.
I was connecting to telecom Italia alice and the connection settings are as follows:-
Pi = 8
VCI = 35
Multiplexing = LLC mostly, but it is VC for a Cisco Linxsys router
Protocol = PPPoE
DHCP = enabled
DNS = automatic
username= aliceadsl
password= aliceadsl
after you make these changes, be sure they are saved, reboot everything again an switch over the computer to linux boot up
configure your NIC in linux as follows
(within the file /etc/network/interfaces)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
NB I downloaded the other newer versions of firmware mentioned in the (Broken) link on this site that use a different web interface and my comments are:-
- The "status" light on the modem does not come on
- The modem does not apparently work
- The interface is very complicated and there is no documentation to explain how to set it up.
- Downloading this other software will screw up the original software from Dlink
