Dear all, Dont know if anyone can help me with the below problem, Im a complete Linux newbie but would like to try and get this working as Mandrake 10.1 looks great I have a Belkin Wireless ADSL router connected upto a RTL8039 100mbps network card. I installed linux without configuring the internet connection and as expected i was on the desktop. I then proceeded into the control panel to configure my ADSL connection so i could get on the internet. This is all went fine and i was connected, I installed Kotepe so i could do some online chatting and was using it for a few hours. However when i rebooted the router was still showing as connected but if i during the boot process you can go into Verbose mode and it displayed the message "Bringing up interface ppp0" and stops there. it wont boot. I noticed there is a Linux failsafe mode in the menu, If i select this option it gets as far as a command line and i presume i should be typing something in. The command is Init I have got a speedtouch modem i could test at some point but i really would like to get this working as it looked brilliant. I look forward to hearing from you. Richard
