    I cant get on the internet

    I used to have Windows XP and the internet worked fine but recently I installed Linux and now there is no internet. My ISP is MSN and when I contacted them they said MSN doesnt work on Linux, but I think there has to be a way. If you know how I would like it the most if you could reply to my e-mail (esh91@msn.com) but I guess if you posted here that would be fine too.

    Thanks
