Okay, then tell us a few things. 1. What DSL modem do you have? 2. Is the computer directly connected to it or is the line going from modem to a router to the computer? 3. Do you have a static IP or a dynamic IP address? Though others will disagree, typically I don't setup the modem in SUSE. I simply connect to the network either with DHCP or static IP. The modem is somewhat transparent in my (and my friends') cases. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
