Alright, I am running RedHat 7.2 and was going to set up my dsl connection to bell sympatco (PPPoE). I ran the Internet Configuration Wizard and it took me through all the steps and in the end I clicked Finish. Now this may be a stupid question but what do I do now? How exactly do I connect? Linux newbie...

Try launching your web browser and type in a page address.

OK, I could be wrong here (although I don't think so), but I believe the Internet Configuration Wizard sets up dial-up, not dsl. The easiest thing to do is to login as root, open up the terminal and type: adsl-setup (I'm pretty sure it's that, but if it's not,type: adsl- and that will give you the list of options...) in any case it will ask you for all the info you need. then to actually connect, just type: adsl-connect THEN you can open your browser and surf. Real Easy.

sorry, to get the list of options is adsl- (tab) (tab)

1st, I recommend you try mandrake.. I did try red hat a few times and had great many trouble to set up adsl. By the way I'm using sympatico too. If you still wanna run it under linux DON'T use the GUI-based setup. open a terminal window and run: adsl-setup after that add: adsl-start as the last line of /etc/rc.d/rc.local if adsl-setup doesn't work download rp-pppoe-3.5-1.i386.rpm and type: rpm -ivh rp-pppoe-3.5-1.i386.rpm and try again. You'll need you b1x????? username and password and BOTH DNS server ip (very important).

Tried the adsl utility, first of all there is no adsl-setup only adsl-connect, adsl-stop and adsl-status When I try adsl-connect or adsl-start it gives a message stating that pppoe.conf in (i think /usr/local/bin/ppp might be wrong tho)is not found. PPPoE is installed however. Maybe I SHOULD switch to Mandrake... *confused*

be sure that you are logged in as root.
