Ah thanks, so I don't need to install any new software, Gnome can do it
all for me, good ! :o)
However, when I start the Network config tool, I can't select my network
card...there is nonetwork card listed ! Instead, it asks me to create a
new connection ! I faked to do one (cancelled at the last step), and I
was asked for the kind of connection (PPP, Ethernet...), so I selected
Ethernet of course. Then I could select "DHCP".
Should I do that then ?
Why is it, my Ethernet card was not listed ?? :-/
And did it say that I have no connection ? I created it with
'pppoeconf', did that bypass Gnome's network tool ?? :-/
