General advise: Search the Ubuntu forums. The dev's there have probably already found a solution.

1) do you use a router?

2) Is you video driver configured properly?

How do you have multiple computers plugged into the modem without a router?  If you have a router or switched network, you shouldn't need anything like ppp config

i only have 1 screen and 1 power cable so i completely unplug one computer to use the other.
