ADSL internet setup...how?

[Graeme Nichols]

Hello Broli, you haven't said what type of ADSL modem you have or how it is connected to the computer. If your modem is connected via a lan (TCP/IP) then you have to set up your connection via TCP/IP not via a modem connection. Use the network connections utility to do this. The values you will need to enter will have been supplied by your ISP. You would normally not enter an address but indicate that the address will be dynamically supplied. You will also need to enter the addresses of the DNS servers your ISP supplied.

If your modem also has a router you will need to enter the address of the router into the gateway field, give your machine a private address and set up the connection to the internet using the utilities that came with your modem/router in the modem/router. The address of the modem/router is set by the manufacturer and will be shown on the documentation that came with it along with instructions on how to set it up.

It looks daunting at first but it is really fairly simple.

Good luck.

Graeme
