While trying to help David, Jonathan wrote:<br>

<br>
Does that mean that Internet and email are working properly, in Linux,
on the same machine that you now want to connect to your ADSL modem?<br>
<br>
If so, all we need to do is get your computer to network to the modem
and request information from your modem. Nothing else should have to
change. Once you are connected email will work just like it does on
the dial-up connection.<br>
<br>
So the next thing I would like to know is, how is your modem connected
- USB or Ethernet (CAT5 / blue network cable)?<br>
<br>
I may have some time on Friday to answer a few questions, but if not,
it will be next Tuesday before I am back online.<br>

I am waiting for some answers from David to try to work out exactly
what is an isn't working and therefore what needs to be fixed, but I
have my suspicions...<br>
<br>
Therefore:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">TO THE REST OF THE PLUG LIST: Supposing that a
modem is working and
connected and attached to you Debian Sarge based PC via Ethernet, what
would be the steps (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) that you would do in an X Windows
session to tell your computer to use 192.168.1.1 as the Default Gateway
with transparent proxy and DNS from the modem and to ignore your
dial-up connection and use the Ethernet instead.<br>
</blockquote>
Can some people who are more familiar with this OS than I am please
post some really simple steps to help make the changes required.<br>
<br>
I will take it from there if someone can remind me where to go to make
the changes etc.<br>
