First off, this is a wonderful source of info, and I have found it incredibly useful since I took it into my head that I wanted to learn Linux.

I can't figure out how to connect to the internet with my broadband connection.

Connection Type: Cable

Modem Brand: LinkSys
Modem Model: BEFCMU10

Router Brand: LinkSys
Router Model: WRT54G

It's hooked up through the onboard ethernet jack on my motherboard.

I can get KPPP to recognize my modem, but it just hangs up when 'initializing modem' when I try to connect.

Since it is a broadband connection, how do you get it to ignore the 'phone numbers' section. Since it doesn't need to dial, I am assuming you should be able to leave this blank, but I get an error if I do.

I do apologize if this has been asked, but I searched. All I could come up with was stuff about USB modems not working, and all the FAQS I read said NOTHING about hooking up through a broadband connection.
