SBCglobal DSL problem

[airgb]

Okay guys I really need some help on this one. I have a new desktop which I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 on. I have setup the internet connection as per the directions and it is showing me online in theTerminal. That’s as good as it gets however, I then open Firefox and try to go to a web page and get redirected to ATT yahoo’s page telling me my browser is not supported. So I did some research and found that some have gone through Firefox via an IP address to get to SBC’s register page. When I do this I get through the Member’s agreement page to the Member identification page where I have tried to use “my” Member ID and Password and also the Member ID: sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net and Password: sbcyahooreg that some of the successful Ubuntuians have used. After posting either of these ID’s and passwords I try to click the NEXT button in the lower right corner but nothing happens. I do get a highlighted button when I place my cursor over it however. Note I cannot get to these pages via the http://192.169.0.1 or any other IR address I look up. I have to use the sbcreg.sbcglobal.net URLs to get access.

The next problem/problems are directly related to the first. Although I am entirely new the Linux world I’ve found (correct me if I am wrong) “everything” revolves around having an internet connection. I have spent four days trying to manually install packets, other browsers, and patches, (opera, user_agent, ies4linux, etc), all in an effort to resolve my connection problem. Obviously none of these efforts have worked and the only thing I can now do with Ubuntu on my new computer is play the game programs. I am hoping if I can get by the registration setup I will be able to then have full internet access. Any of you guys care to help this newby out? Thanks

I didn't...

"I have tried to use “my” Member ID and Password and also the Member ID: sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net and Password: sbcyahooreg that some of the successful Ubuntuians have used".

this password and this username are one's given by another poster for use with ATT's IR accessed registration page which did not work for me.
