adsl internet

[LEONIDAS JEGOROVAS]

Hi,
Thanks for replying. In my Network I have two entries which are the same as
yours, I have tried to activate either one since I'm trying to network it,
but both of them fail.
And when I restart my computer I get two errors:
eth0: failed
ppp0: failed

Thank you for your help, but if you don't know what to do, then could you
suggest a good website or any other link which could be useful in solving my
problems?
I really appreciate all the help you have provided me.

Yours gratefully,
Leonidas Jegorovas
