bash: modprobe: command not found

modprobe and insmod are both superuser commands either do sudo before the command or as suggested sudo su to become the superuser.

To check the network select system stats from the system menu then select the net tab and you will see if the netork card is configured.  Check the hardware tab and it should list the card info and driver being used.

Unfortunately, not one Linux version can automatically configure ISA Plug and Play sound cards and as you begin to know, when the automatic sound configuration by DSL fails is not a easy job to do a manual configuration.
When a test fails, you must not be satisfied with only one attempt. The smallest details does the difference between success and unsuccess.
From that returned messages, I guess you did use the "insmod" command and the command failed because there is missing something that must be inserted before using more "insmod" commands.
The "modprobe" command is more intelligent than the "insmod" command and itself can find that missing things. Then I suggest you try again modprobe so:

sudo su
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

Or as before brianw said so:

sudo modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

ok i checked sys stats and hardware is shown for sound driver azt1320 pnp sound and lists all the devices on the card so that looks ok
when i run xmms it tells me couldnt open audio please check you have correct output plugin selected, no other programs are blocking the card and your card is conf correctly(which it seems to be by system stats)
as for the net-well there was a plug not in properly so i am now fiddling with settings to get full connectivity

The driver was installed by DSL but the problem is the resource assignments.
Please, post the result from following 3 commands:

lsmod
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/dma
