Connecting to the Net with Gnome

[kkhan idirect com]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to connect to the internet via linux box and I have read the
HOW-TO and I have the info that i need from my isp.. but I dont know what
to setup on my linux box when i start up LinuxConf and the only thing that
I can see that I have to setup under my contol center is the modem... 
IF anyone can pass along some info that would help I would appreciate
because it is kind of confusing..

Thanks Everyone,

Kashif
