When I first set up my external (free from telecom) adsl modem recently, the cable connection was faulty. Holding it tightly in place confirmed why I had constant dropouts, or non-connectivity. |

| 421671 | 2006-01-16 23:00:00 | What do you mean by how? I am trying to connect the LAN port of PC into the modem port with a network cable these are connected firmly, the modem says there is a valid Ethernet link, and the PC also says there is a network connected at 100Mb, but why can i not get any internet? :confused: |

| 421672 | 2006-01-16 23:07:00 | Do you have do join your workgroup or something? When you set up you LAN (not sure where it is, but you get asked if you want to turn on file and printer sharing if that helps) it asks about a workgroup. I don't think I could access internet until I had that set up. |

| 421673 | 2006-01-16 23:27:00 | OK, I think you probably need to take the previous advice about talking to your Internet provider. It sounds like you have physical connectivity, since Windows is reporting you're connected at 100Mb, but you don't have the TCP/IP settings correct. Perhaps if you want to do the following it would "help the helpers" Start... Run... Cmd Ipconfig /all>C:\TEMP.TXT Notepad C:\TEMP.TXT Edit...Select All Edit...Copy And paste it into a post.
