Hi I am new to linux, I am trying to configure linux to connect to my =
ISP.

I have got windows 95 and Corel linux working on the same computer.

I have copied the internet settings from outlook express 5 in win 95 and =
have tried to implement then in linux as best as I can,

the modem connects to the net then

waits about 60 seconds and returns an error message saying that the =
server has timed out.

My settings in win 95 are


Account name =3D smith
password =3D password  }copied these to without any trouble

I have also copied the options such as

Dynamic IP

but the rest of the windows setting I do not know where they should go,


for example do I need a script?

as far as I can see in win 95 no
