    8.04 livecd and internet access

    Can anybody advise me on how to access internet using above cd? I normally connect through dsl/wired connection/static IP with router and modem. I'm not sure in livecd if I use pppoeconf in terminal (which returns "access concentrator" fault) or if I first configure it within System/Network for static IP. Some sort of guide would be much appreciated.

    There should be a network icon in the top right hand corner of the screen, if you right click on the icon you can alter the ip address etc., or if you choose from the menu: System>Administration>Network and change things

    The problem is that "pppoeconf" returns a problem with the "Access Concentrator". I've since found that in Livecd I can connect ok direct from the modem but not if I use my normal connection through the router?! At least now I can connect
