danleff 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Most likely your DSL modem is connected to a USB port on your system? What make and model is it? DSL over a direct USB connection is still very much in development in many cases. If you missed configuring the modem during the install (which is easy to do), or it did not configure properly, then this is an issue. If you have a NIC card in the system, you can try connecting the NIC card to the modem and run the network configuration tool. Linux loves NIC cards to connect to and most are compatible with Linux.
