Hello, this is my first post on this forum, hi to everyone!

I downloaded DSL 1.5, burned it on CD, and I boot it from CD. I tryed to setup internet con, but it's not working. I configured it (with that program PPPoe config or smth.), inserted username, password, connected, but when I open firefox and try to access www.google.com it's not working. I have ADSL with external modem connnected through ethernet card.

Please HELP! Thank you!

Sounds like your nameserver is not setup.
Try this command
cat /etc/resolv.conf
This should be your nameserver(s)

If not there then use this to enter them

echo "nameserver   111.111.111.111"

Where the 111 stuff is the nameserver provided to you by your ISP.

If the above works, then you can add the above command to your /opt/bootlocal.sh  or
add the /etc/resolv.conf file to your .filetool.lst
then backup and restore should keep your settings.
