No idea if it'll work thou.



Quoting Pip <gl.lug at ntlworld.com>:

> I've just managed to install Fedora Core 2 on someone's XP computer.
> Everything's working fine except that there's no internet connection.
> With Windows, the connection is through an AOL broadband modem
> connected through ntl. It's attached through an ethernet cable (now -
> it was using USB when I first got to it) and is activated through AOL
> software on Windows.
> Initially, I tried just bringing up eth0 with dhcp bootprotocol, but
> that failed. Then I tried setting things up with adsl-setup, but ifup
> ppp0 constantly had CHAP authentication failures and wouldn't connect.
> What comes next? I'd really like my friend to be able to use Fedora as
> standard, but without the broadband, it's somewhat crippled. Are there
> any sites that can tell me what I should be doing to get this working?
> Thanks.
