    debian internet connection

    Hi everybody.

    I'm new in linux. I installed the debian distribution, but I don't know how to activate the internet connection, what do I need request from internet provider and so on. The connection is ADSL.
    Please, could somebody help me or tell me where to find material about this?

    Thanks.

    dmesg |grep eth* (suppose you get eth0)
    ifconfig eth0 up
    dhclient eth0

    if the first command comes up empty, you have a driver problem.
    That's an whole 'nother story

    From Gnome Desktop > Administration > Networking you can check/change your setup.
