Hello,

Can anyone help.

I am running mandrake 10.1 distro and i am very new to linux although i would class myself as an experienced windows user.

I am trying to connect to the internet with speedtouch 330 modem (the silver one) i can see in the hardware list that it is recognised, and i have tryed running the config tool but to know avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Doddyboy

This may not help much....

But I'd consider buying a proper bit of hardware.
Like a Linksys ADSL modem/router. (about 50 quid)
Then you have a LAN interface which will work whatever
Windows/Linux you run, with the added benefit of multiple ports and an inbuilt firewall. (Assuming you have a working LAN card!)

Then you've got a nice bit of kit that will ALLways work with any computer or ISP.
Saves a lot of aggro believe me!

hi there

i trhink u should use a dialer like
kppp
this will require kde also
alternative to this is wvdial

but u should be having support for ur modem first
so when u use kppp,there is an option of query modem
so choose ur modem device and then query modem,if u get some results then ur modem has support and u can connect to the internet using kppp

regards

have you looked here:

linux firmware download.
be careful though it may muck up the windows side of things
(assuming you are using the popular application launcher)

Hello,
Fellow Mandrake 10.1/Speedtouch user here...
Mine works fine, using the speedtouchconf script on Sourceforge.net:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/speedtouchconf/

Download, unTar, then run as Root...
Works a dream... Installs and runs and thereafter will happily log you online everytime you boot up.

Any probs, let me know. Let's just say I've been through 4 or 5 versions of the script on 4 different installations so I know most the minefields.

Good luck!
