can anybody help me plz???????

ok I am taking that u got the drivers for ur modem working and in Holland I am taking that u r using pppOe in which case
in a terminal window
adsl-setup follow on screen questions
then adsl-start/adsl-stop

uhh......my modem works with pppOa.......and it's connected with eth0.....
i don't know commands in linux......i got linux now about a week .......so i really don't know anything.........

check whether you have the pppoe rpms installed

rpm -qa|grep pppoe

run adsl-setup.

ok if its pppOa then u need to know if ur drivers are installed
wot is the output of ifconfig -a
u need to type this in a terminal window
this will then reply after the command with ur ethernet set up
tiscali are a very hard broadband/adsl modem to configure
how far have u got with ur set up?
