SHAMEFULLY NEWBIE

[William F Pearson III]

It must be the basement. Often when you setup computers below ground
you have to deal with the earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field
along with ultra-low frequencies from the tectonic plates can wreck
havoc on your internet connection. Try connecting at ground level, or
better yet the attic. Really I'm just kidding and I feel like being a
jackass today.

As the previous responder said, there are exceptions. If your ISP
requires proprietary Windows software to connect you might be in
trouble. If all you need is a modem and Windows dial-up-networking you
should be fine with networking configuration in the gnome menu. System
