Go offline

I am brand new to Ubuntu.  I was able (with some help) to
get Ubuntu 6.06 to recognize my Smartlink 56K voice modem. 
I am currently going offline by restarting my system.  Can
anyone tell me how to go offline properly?
I told you, I am brand new, so you'll have to give me step
by step instructions.
Also, how do I install Real Player?  I downloaded it and the
install instructions.  these are the instructions:

*Installation Instructions* - Ensure that the .bin file you
downloaded is executable. You can make the .bin file
executable by running the "chmod a+x
RealPlayer10GOLD.bin" command from a terminal window. -
Run the .bin file by typing
"./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin". Follow the prompts
provided to finish installing the player. - When you launch
the player for the first time, a set-up assistant will take
you through configuring your player. - Enjoy your
RealPlayer10 for Linux!
 
When I open a terminal & type "chmod a+x
RealPlayer10GOLD.bin", I get a message which reads
"chmod: cannot access `RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': No such
file or directory". 
I am a total newbie.

Hi Trier36,
if you setup your connection with pppconfig, connect with 
pon  and 
disconnect with poff.
I think you may have to be in the same directory as your
.bin file. If 
you downloaded it to
"Desktop" you will need in the terminal to change
into Desktop directory 
first. e.g. below

squareyeshere:~$ cd Desktop/
squareyeshere:~/Desktop$

Then try chmod etc.  

Hope this is of some help.
Take Care

One thing you might try for your modem is to right click on
a tool 
bar>add to panel>modem monitor>add.  I think that
will give you a place 
to go for a drop down menu to connect and disconnect.  Or
you can go to 
System>Administration>Networking.  You will need to
type in your 
password, then a screen will come up with options to
activate, or 
deactivate connections.

The easiest way to install realplayer is to open synaptic:  
System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager. 
Either search for 
"realplay", or you can find it listed in the
graphics section in 
alphabetical order.

While you have synaptic open, you might want to:  
Settings>Repositories.  And check everything in there. 
Then click the 
reload button.  This will make more packages available to
you.

Hopefully that will get you going.
