Thanks, but I didn't quite get what you meant by ""dial from ... computer". Did you mean the Broadband Connection Window which is required in Windows OS to connect to the Internet? If that's what you meant then I'm unable to get this window in Linux. | |

| Platinum Member  | ask superprash2003,he is a ubuntu user.though the easiest way to do this is set up your modem in pppoe mode in which you get connected by just turning on the modem.if you can configure the TCP/IP properties in linux then open modem configuration page 192.168.1.1 & change the connection type from bridge to pppoe if not already there. |

Rep Power: 2 | Thanks, You see, the command in Ubuntu is pppoeconf, but this is an unknown command in OpenSUSE. Should I still send a message to super#2003? |

Rep Power: 2 | Try configuring using Yast. Select your network devices and click on DSL to create a broadband connection. |

Rep Power: 5 | this should help Prashanth Speaks-Technology and Life: How to Configure Bridged Mode In Linux - pppoeconf .. firstly ensure that you are able to ping your router.. then try this.. in your terminal type ping 192.168.1.1 .. if it successfully pings then you could try that link, if not its a waste... if you are unable to ping router.. then post output of ifconfig |
