Hi, I would like to know how to make Linux goes to the web!!!!
( I want to connect to my ISP).
First: my hardware:
- Pentium 233 mhz (on the last Asus TX97-LE MB model before PII).
- 64 MB of SDRAM.
- enough hdd space to install linux and X 3 times...
Second : Linux package : = RedHat 5.0. (v2.0.31 kernal)
My problem-S-:
- I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT NETWORKING OR
PPP setup....
I 've browsed some isp's and ppp's HOWTO on my Linux installation
and found nothing to really help me to understand how can I setup
my modem and how to connect to my ISP. (Sprint Canada).
All that I know is the Primary and alternate DNS IP Adress;
the fact that I do not need a login script;
My user name and my password-( I'm kidding).
Is some body wants to help me learn that stuff?
Because:
I Love Linux OS (I have to use it at work by telnet-ing from win NT4.0)
I have personal C/C++ programming projects on Linux.
( I'm ok for how to use gcc )
Then, the Internet is all I need to switch definitively from
Bill Gates buggy Windows! ( but I have to keep it for 3dfx GAMES! ).
I would realy apreciate your HELP! Sincerely , Bretzel.
