I GOT LINUX RUNNING!

<< < (3/3)

lazygamer:
Still trying, armed with a ton of information written down from XP, I still fail.

I am using Mandrake Linux 8.2. So far, there is no drivers that want to work. I haven't tried very many though, but I feel they would all say "srry d00d, no ADSL for u". What ones in Mandrake(adsl drivers) are quite compatible?

I have an internal modem, thus there is not an ethernet card. Surely it's possible to get ADSL working without needing a driver?

So far I have found two parts in Mandrake to attempt to set up my ADSL. Under that internet window, you can use the Wizard(asks for driver) or you can "configure internet connection" which doesn't ask for a driver.

So far i've collected the following information. Perhaps you guys could give me some Mandrake step by step instructions?

IP address(likely un-important, yes I know you don't post it on the net)

Subnet mask

Default

Physical Address 00-05-CB-00-28-65

DHCP server

DNS servers(Both are the same IP)

PCI Slot 5(PCI bus 0, device 17, function 0)

Memory range D9000000-D9FFFFFF

IRQ 11

ADSL Line Type T1.413

PVC_VCI 33

PVC_VPI 0

Protocol RFC 1483 Bridge LLC

Provider??? I use Telus, so would it be Telus.net for sure? How do I get a report of the address(letter address) of my IP?

Im not sure if your susposed to mention stuff like subnet mask, default gateway, DHCP server, and DNS server on the net. Im not even really familar with what these are.

I think it's static.

in windows there should be an option to look at the  thing and tell if it was dhcp or not. as for trying a different linux, it is easy to do that and not have to reinstall windows also, just write down all the info in grub about booting windows, then when you install the new linux, just use that
