So I was following this article http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/254
so that i could be able to watch movies and stuff and when I got to the part about required packages I installed GCC and then began to install the MAKE part but I suddenly had no internet connection anymore. I have checked all my settings and they all seem to be the same as they were before but still no internet connection I rebooted and I turned the modem off for awhile. Nothing seems to work...

The lights on the DSL modem seem normal. I just have the cable going from my network card straight to the modem I use SBC dsl service. IS thier something that could have screwed things up by installing the GCC package or is it more likely that my modem has crapped out. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
