Every time I restart my computer and go into Linux my internet connection is gone and I have to reconfigure it everytime. I do not have to do this is windows. I have saved the configuration on floppys but I would like to know if there is a way to make it remember the connection without going through the floppy. I can quickly restart the connection but want it to stay so other people can connect without going through all the hassle of knowing how to do it.
I'm trying to get this to be my primary OS and am having trouble with only the internet connection staying after a shutdown. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You.
I have tried pon, pump, pump -r and they don't work until I set the connection straight.

Speedstream dsl modem on eth1. I just use this first dev/modem connection setup and point it to dev/modem though a usb port on eth1(which I think stands for ethernet port 1).
Then I have to use adsl/pppoe configuration again and enter my password to connect. After that I can connect. I would like to be able to just click on the link to get to the internet.
