Gnome....System>Administration>Network.
Try using dynamic IP first!

[mehulved]

Or try

su
net-setup ethx

Replace ethx with whatever you get on

ifconfig

It will usually be eth0

In Linux,pppoe is the way for adsl connxns;no usb support.so make sure u have a LAN card.also usb drivers of most are unstable?

iamitp, check if your router is detected first

$ifconfig -a and if eth0 appears

If u know the ip address , gateway and dns server do this (as root

$ ifconfig eth0 <enter ip here> up

$ route add default gw <enter gateway ip here>

$cat >> /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver <enter your dns ip here>

$ ping www.yahoo.com to check if it works..
