It is possible that the userid/password for your Dad's setup may have been changed on the YouTelecom side or your Dad's system may be b0rked. I have installed openSUSE 11.1 at a local baniya shop (ISP - YouTelecom. The installer detected the cable modem connection; prompted me for the userid/password and started working w/o any hitch. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
