Hi Mitch, Assuming all is well and your hardware has been detected properly you should just be able to open up a terminal and type: sudo pppoeconf The utility will walk you through the setup. I have not done this myself; perhaps Alex will have more details if you run into problems with the setup process. Feel free to come by the #Ubuntu-ca IRC channel and we can walk you through it if you think that would help.

I have know clue on how to do this? I have been a long time user of Macs and windows so without a GUI I'm a little stuck. I used fedora core (not online) for a month and fell in love with the Linux idea. With a little research I found out Ubuntu and felt that this is the distro that is for me. mitch _________________________________________________________________ Take advantage of powerful junk e-mail filters built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology. <a href="http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines"> http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines</a> Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*. -- ubuntu-ca mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca </a> </blockquote></div> -- ---------------------------------------------------- Gmail - Hits the spot! :-)
