Try running /sbin/ifup eth0 (assuming eth0 is your DSL ethernet card) then pinging another machine (local or non-local). If that works, then you need to enable networking at boot time. You can enable networking in /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mymachine.mynetwork.com GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 and /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 by adding the line ONBOOT=yes in the file. This is in Redhat 8.0. These settings may be in different files within different distros. Also, instead of eth0, use the correct ethernet interface number for your setup.
