It does sound, though, as if you may have a winmodem -- and that is not a good thing. However, workarounds do exist. Take a look at these sites: http://linmodems.org http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html (Also, if you haven't already done so, be sure to visit the site cited by Anne: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org.) Keep us posted. By the way, you'll be way ahead of the game if you include a brief description of your hardware in future posts. Answering questions about sound cards and modems is all but impossible without knowing the specific items involved. -- cmg no its not a winmodem its a cable modem a motorola sb4100 its is connected in windows but i did have to do it manually or a friend did he said it was to do with the mother board not detecting the settins in auto mode. i think i will have to do the same in linux but i have no idea how. my mother board is a asrock with a 10/100 lan and onboard sound it has a sis chipset. i did try to let the wizard in mandrake controll have a go but it wouldnt give me an ip address.
