G'day Heracles,
This worked, but I'm not sure exactly which address the DNS of my modem
is. There is a WAN address and a LAN address, I used both.
Also, the connection drops out after a couple of minutes. So still
something is a miss. To get it up and running again, I have to
deactivate then reactive the eth0 connection.
I'm happy to get my hands dirty in the command line, if this helps.
Thanks for your help,
Muz.

Hi Murray,
Firstly, go to the System menu then Administration.
- From the Administration menu select network.
This brings up a dialog with both your ethernet card and modem.
select the wired connection (this is eth0 usually) and click properties.
Automatic configuration(DHCP) should be showing and no other entries.
Next click OK and select the DNS tab. In here put the DNS of your D-Link
router (ADSL modem).
Click close and open Firefox. It may respond a little slowly, but it
should work fine.

G'day Slug,
Just upgraded to broadband, and discovered that I can't access the web
through my Linux partition. To my disappointment Windows can :-( I can do
ftp on Linux, so it must just be some setting somewhere (I hope)
I'm a complete novice when it comes to setting up networks, and I'm
running an ADSL router (D-Link 504T) on Ubuntu 6.06LTS (Drapper?). Turning
of my firewall, through Firestarte, doesn't help. I wouldn't have a glue
how to setup the network settings.
Can some kind soul direct me on how to get Ubuntu talking to the net again?
TIA.
Murray
