Here is a Dutch page from my ISP on how to configure a Thomson for Linux. For those that do not understand Dutch the commands mentioned should still be the same and the pictures could be helpful. http://www.xs4all.nl/helpdesk/abonnement/adsl/thomson/ethernet/linux.html Or for other modems: http://www.xs4all.nl/helpdesk/abonnement/adsl/index.html I used to have one of those Thomsons. I think I just ran a command like 'dhclient eth0' or maybe 'ifup eth0' and everything worked. I used kernel 2.4 under woody then; maybe the 2.4.18-bf version. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: http://maurits.vanrees.org/var/gpgkey.asc "It can seem like you're doing just fine, but the creep's creeping into your mind." - Neal Morse
