Hi all,

I have just managed to get linux up and running (I'm a complete newbie) but when I ran the setup program I didn't configure my network connections and made the mistake of opting to set it up later.

I have telewest broadband with a motorola ADSL modem and have connected my modem to my router and router to the pc via ethernet cable.

How do I now configure this so I get internet access? I am dual booting with windows and get the internet on that fine, it's only in linux I dont have a connection. All I get is an error message saying something like cannot find xyz.com

If you haven't already try running netconfig (as root) in a console. That will walk you through setting up your card.

It's ok, I got it working. Linux is just sooo new to me!
