jkerr82508 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 If you have a stand-alone DSL or cable modem, that's usually done in the modem's configuration. See your modem manual for how to do that. Otherwise, select the appropriate option in MCC (Configure your computer)/Network & Internet/Set up a new network interface.

ianw1974 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 If it's requiring a username and password, this sounds like a dialup type connection, either being made via ADSL for PPPoA or PPPoE. So you should be looking at ADSL connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 If you are using a laptop, unlock the numlock key before entering the password ;) To avoid that in the future, disable the numlock service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
