Hi Tony,
Thankyou for replying. I don't have much time at the moment, I have
to get to work, but I can answer more completely when I get home. For
now:

The only reason I did this was because I could not get by this point.
Another respondent Mikkel asked me to wait 2 minutes. I went and had
coffee and it still wasn't up. I don't know what key command to use to
tell the boot process to ignore something it's trying to do and
continue, otherwise I would have done this. What else could I do?

I put these three subjects together so I can ask the same question.
If I try to initialize eth0 at boot time, I will never get into Linux as
it will hang trying to initialize eth0. If I press the "Activate"
button as I said in my first letter, log out, then log back in, my eth0
will be active and my DSL will be working fine. This is the only way I
can currently get it working. So the question is:
Do you want me to do "ifconfig", "route -n", and send you the
conf.modules file -after- eth0 and my DSL is working, or before I
initialize it using the method above?
Thankyou,
Robert Krueger
