These systems usually come with windows software to configure the modem. (I use Comcast cable, and have, ahem!, experience with Qwest DSL, but I expect this one's the same). All that software does is put your username/password and possibly some other configuration options into the modem. You can do this by hand using the micro-webserver on the modem.
Ok.......Konq. can handle that. ;)
Depending on whose modem it is, connect your system to it via Ethernet, let it do dhcp, then browse http://192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 (the 192.168.2.1 addres seems to be favored by Belkin, most others I've come across use 0.1 or less commonly 1.1) You will probalby find a bunch of helpful pages that discuss setup/configuration, and it should be pretty trivial to follow. Have fun!
Thanks!
Motorola SURFboard 5100 with Comcast uses 192.168.100.1.
Yes........common to a lot of routers also. Thanks for all the info. I can see that DSL (just coming to this area) isn't quite as "clean" and easy as setup as cable........RoadRunner anyway. Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 6.x
