97259 2002-11-08 12:03:00 Ok, sorry about the misleading heading... but here's the (minor) issue... My little brother is coming around tomorrow evening to get me to set up an Internet connection on his flashy new laptop - he's running XP pro.

My issue is... I used to be a helpdesk oper for an ISP but... that was a couple years ago, and I've never confronted XP - are there any pitfalls in XP when setting up DUN that I should be aware of?

Natch I'll be able to sort it, but any pre-config probs from others would be welcomed!

Type in ISP name, phone number, username and password and it is ready to go.

Let us know how you get on, and post back if you have problems :)

Good luck.

Mike.
