Connecting to the internet on Ubuntu(8.04)
Hey,
I have ordered a CD(Ubuntu - Linux) and it successfully arrived, no problems. Now, my problem here is: I live in Qatar, and since Q-tel doesn't have the drivers for the DSL modem(for people who run on Linux), where it allows you to connect to the internet, I really do appreciate your answer on telling me how to get Ubuntu connecting to the internet with no problems??
I am more than sure that the majority of Linux users have routers/wireless, but please do advice me on how can I get it to work on one of those DSL modems(speedtouch 330 - THOMSON)?
Yes, to answer any questions, I did search the internet and asked on Ubuntu's IRC channels and forums, but I had no luck at all.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Remember, for *DSL modem*, not anything else :)

I already know it... ...Hey there Ahmad, I just wanted to tell you that I've already went to that site from before, and I also did the same right now, and you aren't posting anything other than the obvious facts. Yes I do know my DSL modem's details, and I don't have to be told more than once :)
I need a way, that someone may have experienced from before, for connecting to the internet while running on Ubuntu. Keep in mind, having a DSL modem, not a router/wireless.
Thanks.
By the way, the steps you provided are for WINDOWS XP and not UBUNTU. I clearly asked for ways on Linux.
Believe me, I already called Q-TEL for such support, and once a guy asked for the spelling of the word!...
They couldn't provide any help except advising me to buy a router/wireless, or keep on searching the net - which I have been doing from the beginning of the year.

Not really ...Are you reading the same answers as I am?? Ahmad answered with a way that is used on Windows XP(option 1 etc.), and the CD(internet installing) cannot be used on Linux - It's Windows XP only.
Analyze where in his 'answer' he gave me some helpful stuff, please.
And I live very far from Doha, so yeah, ordering is just simpler.

Yazan, what he said was: the ...Yazan, what he said was: the site mentions that you can use the adsl modem on linux, now the software is obviously on the cd, so run the cd on linux and install it from there. Installation method for it is given in the documents which u can get on the website that ahmad provided or on the cd itself.
