SUSE 10.0 and ADSL-connection


Hello,
How can I connect to internet through my ADSL-modem?
The SUSE 10.0 installation has detected the ethernet card and put it as eth0. How do i connect it to the ADSL-modem that runs a routed PPPoE. All the log-in information to reach the internet providor in set up directly on through an internal internet server in the ADSL-modem.

you shouldn't need to do anything

your network card should pick up the connection from your adsl modem/router - there is no need to input any internet isp login codes

Sounds like a DNS issue since DCHP gives you an IP. IPv6 has caused some performance issues with regards to DNS. I for one have disabled IPv6 since the Internet isn't using it anyway.

There are many places for documentation and help. This forum is the best place for Linux questions that I've found. Google has a special Linux search engine that I also find useful -- http://www.google.com/linux

There are many "HOWTO" pages that you can find with Google Linux. In fact HOWTO is a good search argument to try. Perhaps "HOWTO+suse+adsl" would be a good search argument to get a list of sites that may help you.

Study multiple forum replies and howto pages to find those that you are most comfortable with before actually trying things. Favor help that relates to YaST and not the command line. Bash commands are very powerful but not the best place to start when you're a newbie. Changes are best made with YaST or another GUI. Reserve the command line for viewing rather than changing. That way you will learn without messing up your system to the point you have to do a new clean install. A clean install can however be a good place to start but if you do stick to a stable release. Beta and alpha are not the best place to learn. Research try some things and come back here with with focused documented questions. We will all try to help you.
