Ok, I just got Suse Linux 9.0 and I'm liking it. I got it set to KDE mode cause i'm a new convert from windows. I want to get on the internet with Suse, so I can download the 3D graphics driver for my nvidia card.
Well the point is. I don't know HOW to get onto the internet.
I've unsuccessfully configured my networkcard/DSL modem. I'm really a newbie at this and I need quite a few of suggestions.
I have a RealTek network card, with Broadxent Broadband blaster DSL modem(From American Online[AOL]). Am I going to be able to get onto the internet with this hardware?
I also have a dial up modem, its a Lucent Win Modem on a PCI slot.
If I am unable to get online with my DSL, is there any way to get online with my Dial-up?
What I've tried:
a.) I've tried typing netconfig in the runcommad of Suse.
b.) I've tried typing in /etc/rcd/rcinet1 into the console
c.) I've tried both a and b from root user also....
Any suggestions?
what I need is a REALLY basic instructions on how to configure my network card / modems
I've tried like 4 different websites, with 4 diff. message boards to no avail. and even my Linux setup guide that i've got with my distro CD. All no luck.
