RE: How to access internet?

["Amar S. Bhatti" <lzxx4x powertrain mpg gm com>]

Hya Bing,

first of welcome to linux community, i am pretty sure your trip will be much
better than Windows. Secondly are u a part of the university, meaning is ur
university your ISP, if so do u have access to static IP or dynamic, if u have
stataic IP, what u need to do is become root, then type > netcfg this tool will
help u to configure ur PC for networking with ur ISP. Almost forgot have u
setup ur network card yet.

Another thing is if u want to connect to the network using modem, u need to set
up ur PPP connection, the best source is www.google.com/linux
use that to search for setting up ur PC for networking.

Also the use of this list is for the gnome dev, so if u wanna talk to me dir,
just send me email to me as to not disturb other gnome guys doing important
communication.

Later,
