Hello Broli, you haven't said what type
of ADSL modem you have or how it is connected to the computer. If your modem is
connected via a lan (TCP/IP) then you have to set up your connection via TCP/IP
not via a modem connection. Use the network connections utility to do this. The
values you will need to enter will have been supplied by your ISP. You would
normally not enter an address but indicate that the address will be dynamically
supplied. You will also need to enter the addresses of the DNS servers your ISP
supplied.
If your modem also has a router you will
need to enter the address of the router into the gateway field, give your
machine a private address and set up the connection to the internet using the
utilities that came with your modem/router in the modem/router. The address of
the modem/router is set by the manufacturer and will be shown on the
documentation that came with it along with instructions on how to set it
up.
It looks daunting at first but it is
really fairly simple.
Good luck.
Graeme
