adsl internet

[LEONIDAS JEGOROVAS]

Hi,
Could you tell me how I could check the username and password which the dsl
is using?
I am connected directly to the dsl modem(no router or hub).
The Network Control Panel says that the ethernet card is "OK", and I am
pretty sure my ethernet cable is good as well.

Yours sincerely,
Leonidas Jegorovas
