    I've got BT Broadband so I'm supposed to be able to connect to BT Fon and/or Openzone hubs but I've never managed it yet.
    I can connect and get an IP address but then nothing appears or works in the browser so it may be DNS or some other network setting.
    I've googled and looked at the BT-Fon forums & FAQ but I can't find what network settings I should use.

    Ubuntu 9.10 & NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 but any tips for using Fon/Openzone with linux would be great.

    Hi

    I know that this is not much help, but connecting to my BT Home Hub from a Linpus AA1 was a total breeze.

    So why you are having problems is a mystery.

    Can you connect to the 'net with an ethernet cable?
