Hi Shawn,
Thanks for your advice.

If you are connecting to dial-up in Linux, but there is no actual
internet connection, then you may have to manually set the gateway in
your dialer settings. Dial up in Windows and run "ipconfig" or
"winipcfg". Write down the gateway that is shown. That's the best way
to get a legitimate gateway for your service.
I will try later as suggested.
By the way, what service do you use?
Sorry I am not very clear of your question. The PC used to test knoppix
CD is connected to Internet via ADSL (dialup) with a router modem and
56K modem. The PC has 2 hard drives, inter-changeable/removable. One
hard drive has WinXP installed. Another has RH8.0 installed. Both OSs
can access Internet via either ADSL or 56K modem (winmodem)

I had the problem you are
describing with MSN, but I was able to get it to work using the method
above.

Hi all,
I have been encountered Internet connection problem for some times. The
PC used for testing knoppix CD is running both ADSL and winmodem
seamlessly. I succeeded config network and modem of CD, connection
showed with counter running but I could not browse Internet nor
mailing. I tried a whole week without a solution. Now I am waiting for
next version of knoppix CD

This modem is probably a WinModem -- that is, not really a modem at all,
but can be used as a modem in Microsoft operating systems because of
special software drivers.
Most Winmodems do not work under Linux because the software needed to
control them has not been made available by the manufacturers to Open
Source developers.
When I was new to Linux, and I couldn't get broadband, I bought a good
external serial port modem. They're wonderful, and work with any OS,
even DOS, if you wanted to use it there.
To be fair, I should mention that most Winmodems don't work in Windows
2000 or NT, either. At least, in my experience.
