Yeah, what was the problem to begin with?

591784 2007-09-17 07:58:00 Did you get the drivers for the modem?? Are you on broadband or dialup?

If BB, then did you put in the info required??

If dialup, did you get the drivers and create the connection?

Or how are you connecting this to the net? By itself? Ethernet / wireless?

591785 2007-09-17 08:02:00 im on broadband. whenever i do ipconfig i have data in ip addrss, sbunet mask and default gateway. thats it. i dont knwo what to do after that... ivo10 (12015)
591786 2007-09-17 09:36:00 And how is the laptop connected tho?? By ethernet cable or wireless?

Double click on the LAN icon (if its ethernet /then go to TCP/IP), is it on obtain an ip address automatically?

What about software firewalls? Any installed?
