then partition like this:
hda2 <swap> your ram size
hda1 / everything else
it's best for now.

tell us about your windoze machine config. what is the output from the
command line command 'route print' ?
what protocols do you use? is this windoze 95? if so, what's listed in
the network control panel? what are the tcp/ip settings(*)?
if this is windoze nt, what's listed in the network control
panel/protocols and adapters? what are the tcp/ip settings(*)?
(*) tcp/ip settings of relevance:
ip address
network mask
gateway/router
dns servers

pppoe and pop3 have nothing to do with each other. pppoe might only be
needed in germany actually, i don't know about PacBell. did you have
to install *anything* on windoze when you got dsl working?
