Does that require Internet ? [what does it do]

Cause i am not conectted to net thru Ubuntu

Did you tried this ? msify - Google Code.

not yet ...... i am tryting to activate the old client i installed ........ pls check that link and tell me if i need to install something else also ....... [for that old linux client]

I couldn't access that link. The client I posted have some good reviews in Ubuntu forums.

Nope doesn't require internet, it creates a symbolic link ( shortcut) to the libssl files on your system. So the program looking for libssl.so.4 is redirected to libssl.so.0.9.8

Though I don't know if openssl files installed on Ubuntu by default

Regarding Archer's suggestion, there are some instructions on how to use it on the site at http://code.google.com/p/msify/wiki/GettingStarted

Thanks man ! i am sure thats the problem cause ...... It did say something about open ssl thingy ....but i ignored it during installation


Pls check this link and confirm SifyClient

I tried the link with a proxy: Sorry, this URL is invalid http://202.144.65.70:8090/linuxinstall.html.

Give msify a try. Net access is top priority right ? You can install the original client once you get net connection.

Bull **** sify..... wait i ll paste the contents

2. Installation on NON RPM Supported System

a. Download Broadband Client:

Click here to download Sify Broadband Client for Linux OS

b. Installation Steps:

gunzip sify_bbclient-3.0.tar.gz

tar -xvf sify_bbclient-3.0.tar

For more information refer Readme.txt file bundled along with package
3. Launching the Client

Open a terminal from X server

From terminal run the command "sifyconnect"


a. Prerequisite for Linux client

Sify Broadband client for Linux OS works only on windows Manager with any desktop

Sify Broadband client for Linux OS requires openssl0.9.7c or later.

If your system has lower version of openssl or openssl is not intsall, Click here to download openssl0.9.7-0.9.7c

b. Download Broadband Client:

Click here to download Sify Broadband Client for Linux OS

c. Installation Steps:

Note: Plz do not remove the existing lower version of openssl which will affect other programs.

rpm -ivh openssl0.9.7-0.9.7c-52922cl.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh sify_bband-3.0-0.i586.rpm

I collected data from many places. Not sure it will work.


gunzip sify_bbclient-3.0.tar.gz

Extract to desktop.

In teminal

Login as root user

Code:

su
< your root password >

Install client.

Code:

cd Desktop
cd sifyconnect-3.0-bin/

Code:

sudo ./install.sh

To login/logout.

Code:

sifyconnect-3.0-bin/sifyd
sifyconnect-3.0-bin/sifyconnect --login -------> logging in
sifyconnect-3.0-bin/sifyconnect --logout ------> logging out

Compare this with what i did

1) Downloaded that file

2) Booted Ubuntu

3)Extract to sify folder [desktop]

4) Cd Desktop/sify

5) Sudo su
Asked for password

My desktop file is sify not sifyconnect-3.0-bin

how to proceed

Is your LAN network setup correctly in Ubuntu? Check your network settings in Windows, try using the same settings in Ubuntu.

I tried executing

sudo pppoeconf

It detected two Ethernet devices

eth0
pan0

Then i clicked Ok

it started loading and displayed the messege

Looking for PPPoe Access Concentrator on eth0
Looking For PPPoe Access Concentrator on Pan0

Looking for PPPoe Access Concentrator on eth0 [mulyi-mode]
Looking For PPPoe Access Concentrator on Pan0[multi-mode]

Then this msg was displayed

Sorry i scanned 2 interfaces, but the access concentrator of your provider did not respond.Please Check your network and modem cables.Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem
