Which desktop are you using (GNOME/KDE/dont know(KDE is defualt for
Xandros))?<br>
<br>
There is probally a Xandros wizard to help you set up your internet
connection. if not its not mozilla that handles your internet
connections its your dialup program. if you cant find a wizard or such
like to do it for you the find the program called kppp. its relativley
easy to configure and is the most reliable dialup client ive seen for
linux (still cant get wvdial or gnome ppp to work). <br>
