If USB, no idea at all.

First u need 2 have a lan card on ur system.to know whether u have a lan card,try

Code:

sudo ifconfig

if it shows network item named eth0 etc then u can follow below :
for easy way,launch :

Code:

network-admin

from menu(enable debian menus using alacarte).
ipaddress :192.168.1.2

subnet mask:255.255.255.0
otherwise sudo edit /etc/network/interfaces and add below lines in a new line.

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0

now just

Code:

apt-get install ppp pppoeconf

(its on the cd!)
enter ur dataone username passwd etc as it prompts and configure whether u want always on or normal setup.now u can start the dataone by typing

Code:
