126785 2003-03-09 06:19:00 Hi, I am an absolute newbie to Linux. I have just recently installed Mandrake Linux 9.0, which is needed for a paper I am doing in Auckland Uni. The problem I am facing now is that, I can't get a internet connection going. I am guessing it has something to do with the drivers and the hardware support for my Dynalink ADSL modem (ALH-110) on this OS. I can't seem to find the option to select my own drivers for the modem, is there such options??

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I am running a dual-boot machine with WinXP as well..which is wat I am using now : )

126786 2003-03-09 08:26:00 Have you tried the driver section at www.dynalink.co.nz i downloaded one they have quite good instrutions. Although you have to do all the installation from the console no flash wizards or anything. but thats linux for you :) too bad u dont have an RTA-210 thats what i used and it took 5 secs to install it under mandrake 9.0 :)

what paper r u doing?

126788 2003-03-09 09:27:00 Hi Kenshin,

I just did a check on the Mandrake site and it looks like that particular modem is not supported, unfortunately: Dynalink ALH-110 (www.linux-mandrake.com). Maybe one of the other drivers will work as mcatley suggests.
