Re: Help the Idiot
OK, start by clicking on the K icon in the panel, scroll up to where it says "system" , a menu will open up, find Konsole terminal program and open it. You should see username@boxname~$. This is the prompt.
At the prompt type:sudo pppoeconf
Then type your password when asked.
The program will open up in the terminal/konsole. Just answer the questions to configure it.
Like I said I have never used it so I can't tell you what to expect.~$sudo make me a sandwichComment

Re: Help the Idiot
Is this a DSL connection or dial up?
I was just looking at the 295.ca site and it's mostly dial up but they do offer a DSL service(high speed)~$sudo make me a sandwichComment

Re: Help the Idiot
dsl connection
they gave me a CD with a linux section to it but i have no idea how to use them (they are like .C and stuff)Comment

Re: Help the Idiot
I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. I don't have any experience with DSL and without knowing whats on the cd I am stumped. There is probable a tar file or something on the cd that you would copy to hard disc and unpack. there should be a read me file with it somewhere. That's the only other thing I can think of. Browse the cd to see whats on it.~$sudo make me a sandwichComment
