Hi all,

I have just installed Debian ETCH under GNOME mode (and NOT KDE). I have 256kbps DSL
connection which works fine on same machine under XP. Now I want to be able to use
it under ETCH. [XP is installed on 40GB(master) and ETCH is installed on
60GB(slave)]

Can someone please guide me through the process. As a tip off, I am given IP
address, default gateway, NO DNS, my home numer is my user name and a password.

I would really appreciate if somebody can detailed explain to me.

Thanks once again.

Khurram

How is the DSL modem connected to your computer (ethernet, USB, ...). Is
that a PPPoA or PPPoE connection? If you don't know what I'm talking
about maybe you could describe what you did under Windows to make it
work.

Regards,
Andrei

It also maybe useful to tell us what model of modem you have. And if you
have ever configured an ethernet connection on Debian. Most of the
configure is done in the /etc/network/interface file. 'man interfaces'
would give you some . Also, 'lspci' would us to know what
ethernet card you have.
