DSL Modem Help.

[CrazyCanuck90]

YAY, it worked, thanks .

How do I connect to the internet, I went into the networking settings and I tried setting up a modem. I'm not sure on what to put in for the phone number, and the part that asks for pulse or tone? I guess I should just call my isp. Will it matter if Im going through a router though?

It's a broadband internet connection btw, the modem is just hooked up to a phone line.

first this should be a new thread because of the new questions, more people will see it then. it will get split by a moderator anyway.

Are you using a dial up modem?

if you are you will want to get the gnome-ppp deb package and put it on your system. this will make using a dialup modem simple.

dont use the modem in the network settings as this is for old style dial up modems.

You are using a dsl modem which is like a router, you can think of you connection as a big LAN (no dialing needed).

set your wired connection in network to use dhcp. this is all that should be needed.



edit: oops just saw you working edit.
