Kan:
#ifup ppp0 ??

Maybe I should try and reinstall it?
I am using a Askey 56K data fax etc in COM 2.

I hope this starts working and it doesn't put me off
linux for life  

Faust:
From a (quick) google search that would be an internal right?  Do you know whether or not it is a hardware / software modem?

Im sorry if I did not explain this well. This is a command you would type into a terminal. Open up Konsole, or xterm and su to root. Next type in "ifup ppp0" This tells the computer to try and connect to the internet using the dialup adapter(ppp0). I thought kppp might be your problem because I had a problem with kppp in mandrake 8.1.

$su

#ifup ppp0

I'd never switch to ADSL. Cable is so easy to set up in Linux, that you actually don't have to. Detects your networkcard, queries your DHCP server, and then it's all done.

Ok I tyed that and it sort of dialed... but then
did nothing else... so I dont know   :confused:  

Anyway the bigger problem is that when I entered
linux this time for some damn reason it didnt detect my sound card.. Then all the destop icons
dissapeared and I couldnt use the right click on
my mouse!!!

I think its time for a reinstall yes?
