Hi,

After moving I switched from cable to DSL and could setup DSL without
any problem. After upgrading to SuSE Linux 9.2 from SuSE Linux 9.0 DSL
would no longer work. I have a Zykel P623-ME DSL modem. I plug my
Ethernet card from my Linux Server and my Windows PC to a Switch and I
connect the switch to the DSL-Modem. All through normal connection
slots. I tried various things that I found in SuSE's Book but nothing
worked. I did have to leave the Netscape browser because it also no
longer worked correctly with the modem. Firefox works OK.

I am able to connect to the Linux Server through my PC.

Any suggestions ?

Peter

.... a switch or a router? a router provides a single
point of entry to the ISP. a switch wont - a switch is
just a smarter hub. if all the machines on the switch
are powered up, only the first one that gets the IP
from the ISP will have a 'valid' connection and all
other machines wont be able to get an IP. well, unless
your ISP allows multiple IP logins originating from
a specify DSL modem's MAC.
