SUSE 9.2 AND WINDOWS XP

Need more information on that modem?

I'm renting the modem from quest who is my DSL provider, I did get on the Action tech webb site and the modem does suppoprt Linux and Windows, is a Action tech 54mbpps gateway it has a port for ethernet,usb, and also wireless, ( like to connectec via ethernet as Suse 9.2 poss will not work with usb?? ) hope this is what you are asking for...

I would try the ethernet.

great suggestion that is what I'm trying to do but I'm not sure who to find the drivers etc.....
any feed back ???

Connect the modem to your computer via the ethernet plug.Post as root

I tried those comands and still have not been able to connect, any other info that could help me ??

Post what they say,that is so we can help,gives us some information to work with.NEED MORE INFO PLEASE!

I have not been able to get the information from the linux side to the windows,, and each of the commands kicks out about half a page of data which means nothing to me... I'm not sure what to do I will keep on working on getting that data posted...

Well looks like I manage to get a hold of the data sorry it took so long but I guess I dont really know how to work the burner yet however it did copy on to the 3.5 floppy... I am working on learnign how to work the cd/dvd.... anyhow here is the responce on the comands we ran, I am in the proccess of getting more info on the modem but basically is a Actionteh 54 mbps, is an external modem hook up to the computer via USB port and also ethernet, I did check the webb site for action tech and they said the modem does support linux next week I will call them and see if they can give me some info making the modem work.... anyhow thanks for your in put on this lest see if we can get this guy connectec to the webb

I dont see ethernet on there anywhere? have you got a card?
here is the drivers;
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux..._1.0-0292.html
or you could put another card in there for now.

Actually yea you are right I don't have an Ethernet card but the motherboard that I bought has and ethernet port in the back and it said that It has 10/100 lan support maybe I misread this, but looks like I have not ben able to locate the enable comand in this board for the ethernet port, maybe that is part of my problem and I'm not sure how to enable this port , I was in Fry's today(large electronic retailers here in Seattle) and I was looking at some other options but could not come to the conclusion of which network card to use, which card should I get to conect to the modem ?? ethernet is that 10/100 lan? and my next question is how do I install the drivers that are posted on your respond?? can you type up some of the commands that I need to put on the command line log in as root to intall the drivers ??? where do I copy them too?? should I contac action tech the maker of the modem and see if they have a network card that would work with their modem?? this modem also has a wireless option but I have had such a difficult time with just the wired connection that I am nervous to wonder in to the world of wire less... but they may have a pci card with the card that connects to the modem wireless ?? only a bit of food or thought sooo now I am open to your suggestions....

thanks a bunch....

Quick thought I can't connect to the webb on the Lynux partion so I need to wait until I can connect to down load the drivres ( I'm hooking up via xp on a usb connection) unless I can figure out how to copy to install program to a disk and install it of the disk thanks a bunch for the info...

Here is the card I use,works great;
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/270...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG
You can use it later if you set up a home network so it will be money well spent.
Your nice comp(64bit)is a little ahead of the people that get the drivers into the kernels,but it won't be long,grab that card and you will be on the net in no time.
See if you can disable the onbaord lan for the time being in the bios.Put the card in and do the same as we did before and it should show up.If it shows up as eth0 try;
dhcpcd eth0 then
ping www.google.com -c 3 to see if it works
Most modems use dhcp,How do you connect with windows dhcp or pppoe?

Sorry that I have been gone for so long now, I have not been able to post to my linux questions as there is a problem, but I'm connected to the webb and things are going fine thanks for your help...
