I work at an ISP. We don't officially support Linux, but you can connect. We don't support it due to the number of different flavors available, and the differences between them. With Redhat, just starting at 6.2 to present, there are 7 versions (I think), all a little different, and if they do or don't use X makes 14 possible Redhat flavors. There are really only 4 flavors of windows, which is much easier to train a call center on. Now that that is said. How do you connect to the internet? Cable modem, dialup, etc...? For cable modem, it's easy. In X, goto network configuration (system settings -> network configuration) You'll have to enter the root password. Edit your adapter and choose dhcp Using VIM vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (if eth0 is your conection to the cable modem) Give it these three lines > DEVICE=eth0 > BOOTPROTO=dhcp > ONBOOT=yes Or Check out the HOW-To's online (With another computer obviously) -- Michael Gargiullo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Warp Drive Networks -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
