I am needing some assistance in setting up my dsl internet connection through my suse9.1 linux. Can someone give me some advice or point me in the direction I need to go. If it helps any I have to nic cards installed. one I can use just fine in windows xp. I also have this setup as a dual boot system. Thanks.

I am going to post my configs for the nic cards by going to console and then SU then what #ifconfig? Is this right?

Thanks
Again

yast control center>network devices>network card
run through the setup and use dhcp.
it's surprising suse isn't detecting it automaticly,when i switched from dial-up,all i did was reboot.

I worked on it yesterday after work and got it working. Thanks for your help
All I do know is when I boot up the kinternet plug icon shows up and then I right click on it and click on dial out or is dial in and then instant connection.

I do wish it would show my connection speed or auto dial and connect for me once I am fully booted into suse.

Thanks

hmmm......odd.it should connect at boot.did you configure the net-card,dsl modem,or both?
there are quite a few apps to monitor network traffic available,gkrellm and KSysGuard come to mind.

what configuring it under Yast
or also care to explain?

Thanks

yast control center >> network devices >> network card
this should be the only field where anything is configured.just set it to use automatic address setup (via dhcp).
when suse boots,it should bring up eth0 automaticly.
