Okay, stop right there. Take a deep breath. Repeat after me. The Speedstream connects to the Internet. The Linksys router connects to the modem. The computer connects to the router. The ankle bone connects to the knee bone. Only the dsl modem needs to know about dsl. All of the others use simple IP to connect to each other. Presumably you have already programmed your modem with all of the information such as passwords that you needed to connect to your ISP. > Decided to reinstall - this time, got X to run, but, ironically, my > internet is down. Damn, are computer's fickle? LOL. Did you configure for DHCP? Check /etc/network/interfaces and look for: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Check that your network card is recognized by looking at 'ifconfig'. ifconfig eth0 You may need to load a module in /etc/modules. In which case you need to have 'tulip' in /etc/modules for a Linksys card. Just editing the file and rebooting works. But I recommend that you use modconf to put it there. You must have missed doing that during the initial install. This is the same area where you selected your es1371 sound driver. modconf Page down to where it says 'tulip' submenu of tulip drivers and select it. Then on the next page select the tulip driver no description available and let modconf add it to your kernel. > I installed the 'ppp' module into my kernel like I normally do in the > Debian install. No joy. Tried removing that module. No joy. Added just > 'ppp_deflate'. Nope. Tried 'ppp' and 'ppp_deflate' together. Nada. Unless you are actually using ppp such as over a phone line or serial line or some ssh+ppp vpn solution you do not need to do this. > Next is my soundcard - a Soundblaster 128PCI - aka: ES1371.

When you log in you will be in the audio group and will be able to access /dev/dsp. Bob
