Hi Guys,
I am trying to "convert" and persuade a friend of mine to Linux. His ISP is 7 star cable based "broadband".
I tried searching on google, and found a forum posting about suggesting the use of linc daemon. However, we couldnt get it working. I suspect it was an authentication issue.
His account page on the 7star website recommends use of cyberoamLinux client, and provides a download of it, but doesnt carry any specific guidelines on how to specifically configure it for 7 star settings.
Has anyone used this ISP? What client did you use (linc daemon/ cyberoam/anything else)? Any pointers, sample config files that worked for the client, would be most welcome. All we have at hand is the gateway IP, username, password and the DNS servers.
Thanks in advance, Vivek
I was a long time user of this ISP. It sucks. The speeds are quite good but the support for Linux sucks. You have to pursuade (beg / threaten or whatever) their non existant tech support. The cyberoam client that they provide for linux is pathetic. It seg faults all the time. If Linc-daemon doesnt work then it means the protocol has changed. Tough luck.
Regards,
