I have not used DSL with Linux. So others on the list may be able to help you better. The things I would check would be if your provider uses PPPoe or requires some other authentication for that service. This may require playing with some of the settings when you configure the NIC. Also verify that the speed and duplex of your machines interface matches the cable modems. Probably 10Mb/half duplex. Check for link integrity as well. (there should be an led showing this on both your NIC as well as the DSL modem.) -- Scot L.
