Re: [newbie] help me please(internet)
First, you must be certain...your modem is NOT a winmodem...or a PCI modemthen, make sure you have linux seeing it on the right port. try using all the com ports under linux...ie ttyS0,ttyS1, etc. also try /dev/modem at the top... what modem is it?

You're not giving us much info to go on. How are you trying to connect?
Using kppp, or some other modem connection device? Have you edited
/etc/resolv.conf ? You should add:
search your isp
nameserver dns#
nameserver dns#
{yeah, your ISP shpuld provide you with 2 dns#'s}
