I don't now if you're just playing troll or if you really are sincere in asking these questions even though you seem to have decided not to listen to the answers
Well so far no one has determined the problem. And if someone did it was hidding in a hole bunch of "blah blah blah (hint) blah blah blah you suck blah blah blah". if you know what the problem is and you know how to solve it why not simply put:

1- run linux
2- enter konquer type : 10.0.0.1 (wich is my router web interface) and check if its online
3- config PPPoA or what ever it is you need
4- Open "x" thing at it will ask you for the ips you gave us.
5- your done you should be fired up and running

Or if i needed some new drivers or soemthing I DONT KNOW !!! and have NO CLUE on whats going on. you could just say go to http://www.driversforlinuxdownloadme...llyourshit.com and download the drivers for "xxx" wich i think should solve it. after that follow the steps above and that should be it.

If you want to kid yourself into thinking that without a hardware firewall Internet security is all about the sites that you visit and that hackers never can find and attack you, exploiting weaknesses in the OS (their favorite easy target being Windows), go ahead and think that, but you might want to do some research about the massive networks of "bots" that some hackers build up by exploiting Windows weaknesses; by some very reliable estimates the average unprotected windows system is found and compromised in about 4 minutes of going on-line.
well my friend here i am to say those "bots" wich you dont know how to mention are called DDoS bots you might recognize some oldies like Sdbot or Agobot wich are AUTOMATICALLY deleted by any crappy anti-virus (wich windows does sugjest you to download as soon as posible) and the way we use is we scan IP ranges and get people and bots scanning for as long as possible looking for a dumbass wich DIDNT FOLLOW windows advice to change and create his own account. so if you kept it as default Admin:Admin or Admin:1234 wich everyone knows those are comon you are likely to get abused. Dont patronize me about security cause if you go online there is not guarantee that you will get a virus unless you are going on to mis-truste d networks ... example go to www.astalavista.box.sk and try to download something or explore a bit and i will guarantee you that you will pick up something bad along your surfing. Now days we do not use old distros for DDoS bots yet we code our own following the same basic principle and we distribute it in a much much simpler and efficient way. Belive me when i say DDoS bots (old distros\commonly known ones) are DEAD.

I may not know much about linux but i sure as hell aint no regular newbie. Years and years of hands on experience im sorry i didnt started out on linux but hey shit happends and now that i want to enter the next level of learning i feel like i got a 5million ton drag of user that do not help me start. In other words everytime i try to install *unix and i fail to connect i allways have to go in to some forum and the response is allways the same "NO ONE KNOWS... they only got it working for mear dumb luck or compatibility) And the real people that could actually help me out usually dont really pay attention to every section on the forum because its not possible.
