ppp0 refers to dial-up or telephone modem based connection. eth0 is
generally your ethernet connection, although depending on your wireless
card it could also show up as an eth(0-9) entry. It could also show up
as wlan(0-9).<br>
<br>
Just a guess, but I would say ubuntu found your modem and your ethernet
interface but was unable to configure your wireless interface. Give us
some more details, what type of wireless card is it (pci, pcmcia, built
in to a laptop, etc), who makes it, what model number, what chipset,
etc?<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Your Help indicates the presents a
choice of 2 different systems to activate in order to get on-line with
Ubuntu. There is "eth0" for a wired connection and "eth1" for a
wireless connection. In reality, on my copy of Ubuntu, only "ppp0" and
"eth0" are offered. As I use a wireless connection I cannot specify
the option of "eth1". Could this be my problem with failure to connect?
Do I have an obsolete version of Ubuntu? rcagle</font></div>
