Re: Configuring an ADSL connexion

Thanks Mark for your help...
I tried the method you described to me..by going to start ->system
settings->network
I chosed the adsl connexion option and DHCP...but when i activate the device
i have a message saying :couldn't activate device...
I think the problem is that my ADSL modem is not detected and recognized by
the system; may be because the driver was not installed successfully...
is there any way i can check if my device (USB WAN ADSL adapter (the name as
stated in win box)) is installed and recognized by the RH system?
thanks
ozman
