Using windows you had the windows dialup/authentication by default. This would connect and provide your user name and password for you to connect to the internet. You need an alternative with Linux and the easiest way would be to get a router that will do the same thing once set up. Most Routers will do this and are very easy to set up. hth Alan Sebastian Pederiva wrote:

Well, I could only tell you what I have to do for a new connection with my ADSL ethernet modem router. I have a Aztech 4 port router which is connected with my ethernett card. From the manual of the maker of the Router I learned

My advice, look into the manual for the address of your router. In Mozilla/Firefox I enter this address and after giving my username for the router as admin and leave the password blank (seems the standard setting for routers) I am then receiving a site from my router which has to be filled in with username for your ISP and the password and than such details as the protocol to be used (in my case PPPoA VC-Mux) and the values of VPI and VCI. These details you should get from your provider. After inserting these details I have to press a connect button in order to see my ADSL connection coming up. In case of a loss of the ADSL connection I go to the same site and reconnect there.
Hope that this helps you with your ADSL setup.
