Linux-Mandrake offers you to configure your Internet connection at install time (figure 6-18). Available connections are: traditional modem, ISDN modem, ADSL connection, cable modem, and finally a simple LAN connection (Ethernet).
We won't enter here into the details of each configuration. Simply make sure that you have all the parameters from your Internet Service Provider or system administrator.
You can consult the chapter "Configuring Internet connections with DrakNet" for details about the configuration, or simply wait until your system is installed and use the program described here to configure your connection.
