I am fond of using computer. and I wanted to be free from pirated software. so through serfing and discussing with friends I got this Linux operating system I am a self-learned user of computer. It is my limitation. I have installed Mandrake 9.0 on partition. It works fine. I receive lots of mail from our group. By going through the mails i am benifited a lot. Now, my current problems is as follows: I can not get internet start up. I have motorola sm56 internal modem. my ISP is sancharnet. I don't know my IP address, DNS server names as well as Domain Names. From where I can get all these? I am eagerly waiting for positive support from you.
