After that, it isn't a problem. I have not tried to run the setup program under Wine. But the only thing you need it for is to generate the account information. After that, you can setup the DSL modem to handle the PPPoE, or you can get a hardware router/firewall to do it. I am using SBCGlobal/AT&T right now. It is fine with Linux. If they ever port their account setup to Linux, you will not need Windows at all. Mikkel -- Log into your router (see the docs :) and fill in the ppoe info in the appropriate interface page of the router. In many cases, it's the router that handles the auth. The "Windows" software that comes with the kit, simply does that (as above) for you. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
