When I finally got aDSL from my ISP i got no help whatsoever from them. They are Windows and Mac heavies.
This is what I did on a RH7.3 box with no other net connections
# = whatever your prompt is
#ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
#adsl-setup
some checks are made here, you'll get some verbosity
USER NAME (enter your user name)
INTERFACE eth0
some verbosity about on demand or continous connection, no equals continous
DNS do you know the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers or are you
lucky and your ISP does it automagically. If you are lucky just hit return. Otherwise
enter the adresses as prompted.
PASSWORD enter as prompted
FIREWALLING verbosity choices are 0 (none), 1 (typical standalone), 2 (Gateway for a LAN)
verbosity and you get a y or n prompt
assuming you typed y
#adsl-start
you should be in business

Vercetti, do like said sys c: from a boot floppy. You can get boot images from the net http://www.bootdisk.com/ has the common disks for download.
If all that does not work, it could also be possible that your DOS/windows entry in the lilo boot menu no longer points to the right partition. This way you will get an error cause no operating system can be found. So make sure the settings in your lilo config file are correct. You can find this file in /etc
/etc/lilo.conf needs to have a correct entry to your windows boot sector.
example:
other=/dev/hdb1
label=windows
A sample setup of a dual boot lilo can be found here: http://nodevice.com/sections/Docs/LILO-README
after changing lilo, run lilo at the linux prompt
/sbin/lilo
