Still not enough info. What are your system specs? Do you have an ethernet/network card installed? or is it integrated into the motherboard? Was it properly recognized by Mint during the installation?

Tell us what brand and model of modem and how it connects to your system. Might help to tell us how it connected in windows.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I think you're missing the boat.

How does your modem connect to the PC....with a USB cable or an ethernet cable? You know the difference, right?

ethernet plug

USB plug

My guess is it's an ethernet connection. If the ethernet/network card isn't recognized by Mint, there's no way for Mint to recognize the modem.

"i have open suse,unbuntu...as well....i am using RJ45 cabel"

Meaning what? You have Open Suse, Ubuntu & Mint all installed on the same system? Triple boot setup? or you have all 3 discs & can install any one of them? Have you tried the others & had the same problem with the network?

Since you're using an "RJ45 cabel", your modem is connected to the ethernet port. That info leads us right back to the main question --- is your ethernet/network card being recognized by the OS ???

Something wrong with me? I didn't understand anything 420 posted; reminds me of a 20 year old voice to text aplication.

Guess at it, yes; understand it, no.
