Unhappy Setting up internet connection ? - Fedora 4

Hey all

I`m wandering for a few days in a couple of forums, with no luck getting answer to my title question. I`ll appreciate any help provided

I recently installed Fedora core4 (the newest), but i don't know how to set up an internet connection. My ethernet card was successfully identified by the installation (SiS card).
The problem is that I don't know where to find a simple dialer (as in Win XP, my other OS) !

I used the internet connection wizard, and chose ethernet connection, but I can't choose automatic DHCP for some reason. I don't know if that's important though, because my ethernet card's properties say that the DHCP is automatic.

System -
2.4GHz Pentium 4 (Intel)
SiS ethenet card
Aztech Ethernet Bridge Router 600E Modem (ISP - Bezeq International - Israel)
OS - Fedora Core 4, Win XP

Thanks in advance

in a terminal as root imput:
system-config-network
Then the network config program starts.
Click edit button.
Put your favorite settings.
If this fails: Get the internet settings from XP (gateway, IP,netmask, DNS...)
and put them in mannualy. The dns will be in the system-config-network program under the dns tab.

I do have a question though - if i manually insert the DNS, what will happen when the ISP decides to change it ?
