Ipcop Adsl connection with Iburst/wimax fallback

[Bliksemgp]

Hi,

I am wanting to setup Ipcop with the Adsl connection on the red network card but also have the posibility to switch to Iburst or wimax if our poor adsl line drops...(once a week )

I can setup the above mentioned but basically want to have 2 red network cards so i dont have to unplug the adsl nic and plug in the wimax or iburst

If any one have a suggestions or idea i would like to get it sorted

I think its worth it to look at this option in our country with helkom

Regards

Deon

DON'T BOTHER WITH IBURST! Their Bandwidth theft, Monkey accounts department, terrible service, semi stable connection, shaped to hell network, regurgitated MTU response technical support. You most likely better off with ADSL, 3G, WiMax.

As Fishfly said.

Rather go with 3G or WiMAX - but stay away from iBurst...

Iburst Ipcop Help

Hi guys

I know that Iburst is not the best and further more funny how Iburst is now using wimax as backbone as mybroadband forum.

But I have over 30 clients using Iburst as they don’t have adsl and 3G is to expensive.

In the meantime I have setup the Iburst via the Ethernet red nic and wimax via the same red nic. Clearly there is n huge speed difference but as Murphy predicted the Iburst was extremely slow and my wimax connection dropped. So now I am stuck with the Iburst again as helkom will one day in next week repair the wimax.

I am forced to plug in and out the wimax and Iburst if I need to switch. I am sure there is a better way????

Try Endian as it supports multiple wan's and automatic failover.
You can have a look at the features on the following site:

Very similiar to IPCop.

hi, thanx for the link
looked at the program and i must say it looks almost better than IPCOP
downloaded it the version 2.2, burnt it to a cd and started to install
no luck could not install the error was "could not install packages"
played arround with pc config but so far no luck!???

Almost last resort tried n new intel 775 m/b 1gig ram 160 gig sata hdd brand new out the box...mabyee it doesnt like my old Mecer P111 1 gig cpu and 256meg sdram, gigabyte m/b ide 40 gig hdd??????

still no luck same error

Last Resort: download the older version 2.1.2 of edian firewall
Wish me luck as here i go again

need to get a sollution like yersterday

have u had similar luck?

will let u know how it goes

ok,

got endian version 2.1.2 installd in 20min flat...wow what a pleasure!!!
now still looking for the fallback option 2 run both adsl and iburst connection if one or the other falls over

even looked on the online demo...no luck..doent hope i have 2 buy it extra ??

cant seem to find it...

pc has 3 nics installed but i cant seem to configure a 2nd red card..or cant find option 2 setup fallback adsl or iburst...

Adsl is my 1st connection working all ok..

am i blind or what???

endian "could not install packages" error

A work around for the "could not install packages" error, don't try to boot from the cd-rom, boot directly from the ISO file.

You'll go to Network on the menu bar and select interfaces, there you'll be able to add/edit/delete interfaces.

See here for more info: http://docs.endian.com/2.2/en/efw.network.html#efw.network.interfaces

One thing, DO NOT use endians Content filter, the anti-virus checker slows downloads and lags browsing like you can't believe.
