Take a look at www.adsl4linux.nl. This is _the_ website for mxstream users (I'm one myself). There is a forum there who can help here and a programm that does everything for her :-).

My daughter in Holland was so fed up with her Windows that after visiting me and working on my SuSe, she just deleted her windows and severed with that the little connection she had over the internet and right after coming home installed a SuSe 7.1 from an extra box that I had in stock. We are some 11.350 kilometers (6.130 miles) apart so I could not assist her but according to a(n expensive) telephone call everything went smooth. Only her connection with the internet does not work yet. She has a cable connection, the ethernet card seems to be recognized but it seems that she is missing something. She has her 30 days of free installation support from SuSe but without the possibility to email them that is not very helpful.
Are there any cable (adsl I think it is called) proficient users in the 070 region who could give some telephone help in order to get her on the list?
Don't give me the answers because down here we will not have cable for a long time ;-(.
Has your daughter tried any of the following? (Perhaps someone can relay this
information):
1. Was DHCP selected when configuring the NIC? Unless the ISP provides a
static IP address and gateway (unusual I would have thought) DHCP should be
selected. This can be set using YaST1->System administration->Integrate
hardware into system->Configure networking device->F3. Activate device with
F4 and save with F10.
2. Power down the cable modem for a good few seconds and/or reset the modem;
there's often a small hole in the back of the modem in which a ballpoint pen
can be inserted.
