Hi, Thanks for your reply.. im with iiNet in Australia, on another machine, i use an Alcatel Ethernet Modem, and i dont need to set up ppp.. i simply assign an i.p address to the ethernet card that the modem is plugged into, and it works.. i dont seem to need ppp of any kind. On this machine however i must use a usb modem.. can i just load the usb driver, and assign it an i.p address ?
