Yup! This is what started the sholw "consumers" threat. A common enough problem. Maybe a hundred messages so far on this and related ADSL problems since I got my Debian/Gnu/KDE installed. Still ... no ADSL.
A few things you might check though: What type of modem are you using? USB ones need specific drivers, Ethernet connected ones do not. The USB driver install (even if you are not using the hardware) may have better documentation that might be useful. I just edited all the files as called out by the manufacturer of my (non-USB) moden based on their documentation (still not working). That network restart command--no one told me about that one yet! Will save reboot times to test changes. If you have saved messages, read throught these threads. There must be something in that init.d directory that needs be called to log on. This might be the only piece I am missing in this frustrating little puzzle. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
