Networking :: How do I make DSL recognize my Internet connection

Hi. Glad that I'm finally able to try linux in some form. DSL certianly has a nice look and feel.

Of course one of the easiest things to do with DSL, in my opinion, would be browse the web. Don't need to save anything, just browsing the web would be a fun way to use DSL from time to time, for me.

However, I can not manage to make DSL recognize my high speed Internet connection. How do I make it recognize my connection? I've been connecting directly from my router to the ethernet port on my notebook. I have a built-in PCI wireless card, but I figure DSL would never support that, and so I got out the cable and connected directly to the router. Why doesn't it recognize my connection? Does it have the capabilities to do this? I have cable Internet service. Should I try connecting directly to the cable modem rather than at the router? I don't really see how that could help though.

I appreciate your help.

i use a adsl connection and share it via a router... i load dsl on any computer and it will detect. maybe its got something to do with ur cable connection

also try configuring the ppp settings

"wireless card" that's the problem
If you think that you can put 5MB driver for YOUR wireless card to 50MB busines-card-cd ?

Doesn't look like the user ASKED to have their driver added. They even said they connected with the cable since they figure wireless wasn't supported. That wasn't the question, just the background.
