howdy. I'm using 8.10, and can't connect to a DSL modem via cable (Auto eth0). It tells me it's connected but I can't actually connect via browser or Skype. [I'm now using a Vista machine to connect - ack]. Network manager also shows a 'DSL connection 1' option but that fails to connect at all.
with dsl the modem will send the username/password for the connection. on the ubuntu box you'll use wired to connect.
