Nobody here will laugh at you, but you need to give a few more details so 
people can help you. Firstly, are you using a USB ADSL modem or a router? If 
a USB modem, what is the make/model? Was it detected by Fedora when you 
installed? Have you done anything to configure it manually?

You can check if it was detected by going to Desktop -> System Settings -> 
Network and seeing if the modem is listed (at least that's right for Fedora 
Core 4, I suspect 5 is the same).

Your TalkTalk CD will not be of any use to you under Linux - you'll need to 
use the tools provided by Fedora.

Regards,
David.
