  1. Hi, I'm first time Linux user, possible convert, but I can't get 10.0 SUSE Prof. to recognize the DSL or the home network (at least not as near as I can tell). I DID have a problem with disk#4 being unreadable, and so I downloaded a disk 4 .iso and made a new one, which seemed to help it complete the install. I have 512mb RAM, and it is as slow as it was with windows XP home. I was expecting it to really cruise. Please advise... thanks so much if someone can walk me thru the DSL configuration. SBC was no help at all! Mark resolvingconcerns @ either hotmail or yahoo
  2. Thanks again Danleff, I thought I had posted that my DSL is connected to my Dlink router, and that I'm hard-wired w/cat 5 to the ROUTER... so your advice about setting up DSL wouldn't apply, would it? However, I DID try to connect directly to the DSL speedstream modem without luck, prior to this. I can bypass the router again, and see if it lets me set up the DSL directly by trying to enter all the ipconfig settings as you suggest... I do get dynamic IP from SBC; it is sbcglobal.net and pop/smtp servers are pop. & smtp. sbcglobal.yahoo.com Thanks, Mark

  4. The SBC regional tech was by today fixing some phone line problems with old hardware, but nothing related to the problem. He didn't know linux but figured I might need to know more about the TCP settings. I'm not sure I'll find the settings you are suggesting I fix during installation (I started reinstalling and have it still waiting for the right steps from me. would Mandriva likely have as much trouble if I just installed that over this incomplete/non-functioning setup? Thanks, Mark
  5. Hi, thanks for replying & sorry for my delay (out of town and away from home a bunch). I TRIED to set up DSL while installing SUSE 10.0 pro, but never seemed to get on line. This could be SUSE, me, or a problem iwth my router, which hopefully is resolved now. Yes, NIC card; I think SBC uses dynamic IP addresses. I took some guesses when installing (probably not correct ones). It can't find mirrors or show that it is online at all / doesn't seem able to find anything when trying to go online. Thanks again for any more help, Mark markyounginc @sbcglobal.net
