External modem. I tried setup with kinternet and to setup the modem with Yast2 as root. What config files do you need?

The ISP is www.access-4-free.com The primary dns is 12.155.212.1 the secondary dns is 12.155.208.3 in mail.access-4-free.com out smtp.access-4-free.com Phone 2052041

I've noticed that you have posted another problem on the list which boils down to this. Your problem is not with Evolution or Gnome. It is with connecting to your ISP.

So you cannot connect to your ISP using your external modem, but you can connect when using windows on the same hardware?

Assuming this is correct, then we need to know: 1) What external modem you have 2) What happened when you setup the modem using Yast2 3) What settings did you enter in the dialog
