Re: [SLE] Setting up DSL on SUSE 10.1


As directed:
1. connecting laptop to a modem (ethernet line. I with Winduds there is a
password necessary.)
2. Simply go to Geeko (the start menu icon) > System > Yast (Control
Center) and then enter your root password.
Click on Network Devices and Network Card.
3. Click on User Controlled (With Network Manager) and then select which
network card you have connected (wired) to connect.
4. I have set default to the DHCP. When it said connected. Opened browser.
Unable to reach server message.
5. I use network tools. Ping the address that does show up when I highlight
the wired connection on the Nework Icon on taskbar. (Note it doesn't show
subnet
masks or anything. Just the address of my provider. As you surmised
inside the Router/Modem) The Ping is active and showing I'm online.
6. At this point I guess I should go to DSL configuration because it must
need the password and member/user name as in Winduds! It also needed the
password from the other Distros.
7. After the setup a quick look at the network Icon on the taskbar and I've
got other information there. Subnet etc.
8. I open Firefox, Seamonkey, Ephiphany. Same message. Server cn't be
reached.
9. At this point I'm confused. Basically it seems that SUSE is not sending
information to the modem, such as my user name and password. or asking for
information
from the modem. I can't comprehend what I may be missing from the
process. I've looked ,but it's gotten to late now and I'm no longer alert,
for something
that I would use to activate internet service? A tool or program or
something that may be what I'm missing similar to Winduds. Place the Icon on
Desktop then click it to
access router though of course anytime the computer is turned on it
will show that there is an internet connection though you are not online
till that icon is
clicked to connect.

Is that what I'm missing? Where might I find it if it exists?
