I installed fedora 1 lately , everything went smooth , no problems...
i came to configure dsl from the internet wizard , i'm using pppo connection
everything is fine ,password , username ...etc save , activate connection..
says it's active ..... but when oppening browser , nothing happened !! no connection ..restarting pc , says pppo config not found or file doesn't exist ,or ./ifug not found.......
something like that ..i tried many times but no hope ..
What I had to do was start by delete and start the config from a clean slate,PPPoe over Ethernet,then configure network card,then use static dummy address like 192.168.22.1 and in subnet enter 255.255.255.0,for stand along don't put anything in gateway.david

thanks for the reply ..
looks like you're talking about ethernet connection ....right ?
but i'm using this dsl (pppo) where you should put username and password ro login ....not sure what are you talking about ..
but still having the problem...
I experienced exactly the same symptoms. (i.e everything appears to work apart from DNS). I ran /sbin/adsl-setup and followed the instructions. Then using SystemTools->Network Device Control I edited the configuration it had setup (ppp0) to use my login and password. This seems to work so far...
I use SBCYahoo with a speedstream modem & DLink ethernet card.
