Hello,

I've asked this question already, but, you know, it's kind of hard to learn, I guess.

I try to connect to the Internet via an ADLS connexion, with a Speedstream 5200 modem with the Ethernet card.  
I obviously do something wrong since I was able to do it once but no more for two weeks now.  That's very frustrating,
because I know I do something wrong but I can't figure out what.

I had help from Doobit in another post and I thank him very much but I think I'll have to get some more help.

Could someone please tell me what to do, step by step?

Here's what I do

1 I open the Control Panel
2 I make sure that DHCP button is "on"
3 I run netcardconfig and click no at the first question and I confirm the server addresses which are sent by my Internet provider
4 I run pppoeconf to enter my username and password

and I test the link in Dillo web browser but I can't get to the Internet (DNS cannot resolve)

and when I type pon in the terminal, I get that nasty message (which I have now read for a significant number of time):

SIOCSIFFLAG: permission denied
/usr/sbin/pppd: can't open option file etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: permission denied

My Internet provider is Bell Sympatico.

Thanks.

When you boot DSL. What you read on the last line (IP Box) from System Monitor on Desktop?. Read you something like to 192.168.0.1?
