[sheflug] Help with broadband

[J Simpson V21 <hubblesimpson [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
I have just signed up for broadband.

I've put it all together, but it doesn't appear to be working.

I'm running fedora core 2, using kde
modem router netgear 834

It has green lights where it is supposed to and the status page looks 
like it is connected, but when I try to download emails or go to a 
website I get eror messages.

At present I am still using my dial up to get online.  Please let me 
know what information would be relevant to get this sorted out.

One other question before I sort it out, how do I make myself secure 
with a broadband connection?  I have changed the password for the modem 
router to something with numbers and letters.  What else do I have to do?

Regards

Janet
