Thread: Is there any dial number in BRIDGE MODE?

i am trying to configure Smoothwall (linux web based remote access firewall) with BSNL Broadband which requires to be in BRIDGE mode. And as it works when in bridge mode the user has to make a dialer connection to start the internet. The same has to be done with the smoothwall firewall (linux based) but the problem is that it asks for a dialing number which is unknown to me.
Now is there any number to dial to connect? because it is not required when dialer is made in windows.

Yes so true you dont need to dial any number in windows but as far as linux is concerned i cant say much you can try to enter your telephone number and see if it helps

for ADSL connection in bridge mode there is no number you need to dial.that's why i told you to ask about this at smoothwall's forum because i think smoothwall don't support dialling an ADSL bridge connection by itself.

does it give an error if you leave the phone number blank?
