Re: [newbie] Internet Connection upgrade. Mandrake 10 Official

I am thinking of upgrading from a dial-up connection to Blueyonder Broadband 
(a UK provider) running Mandrake 10 Official and wonder if I will have any 
configuration problems? Anyone with any experience of this?

TIA,
Simon.

I use NTL cable in the UK and I have no problems at all with MDK 10.

I'm with NTL and when I changed, Mandrake picked up the box as new 
hardware straight away and configured everything for me.  I was straight 
on the net.

You'll have an easier time of it if you can use an ethernet modem rather 
than USB.  Can Blueyonder provide/support this?  If not, things may get 
a bit complicated, although I'm sure people here will be able to help

Thanks for this info and a thankyou to Tony Sykes for his input as well.
