Very Computer

I've been reading HOWTO's and FAQ's and newsgroups all day (the last 2
days if you want to get technical) and still can't get a satisfactory
connection to my ISP.  

I use Caldera Networking Desktop.   If anyone has any help for me please

I am very new to linux but am desperate to try anything, please let me
know if you need any of my log files, etc.
