i dont know where to find the 3 lines to input the data you mentioned.

all i want to do is connect to the internet, this is the 3rd week now with 
RH7.2 and yahoobb--MS98se has been a breeze, even the occasional crash has 
been painless compared to this!!
anyway thanks for the help so far :-)

Start a shell, become root, and use the 'netconfig' command.
