Do you already have an account with this ISP or are you trying to
estalish a new account?
If you already have an account open kppp, select setup, New, then enter
your connection name, and the access number. Click OK then click OK at the
configuration screen, Next enter your Login ID and your password, click
connect and if your modem is setup you will be on the internet.
If you wish to establish an account with a new ISP you can:
1) Do it from another OS were you can download the ISP software.
2) Sign-up at the ISP's website if they offer that option.
3) Open your account by telephone.
Linux does not have a "Network Connection Wizard". YOU have to supply it
with all the necessary information.

Subject: [newbie] named service and mandrake 7 ????
HI
I have been trying toget on the inet, and got hold of some docs to do it and
confiure the DNS etc.., but they all seem to assume that named is a standard
service, which I am sure it is, but I dont seem to have it.
I tried the linuxconf startup and its not there, also did a search on the HD
and found nothing. Why isnt it included in mandrake ?
More importantly where can I get it, and how does one install a new servcie.
thanks
