I don't know what services you might have turned off but, you need the Remote Access Connection Manager on to connect.

No, manual is OK. The reason for such failures is most times bad sync between your DSL modem and your ethernet or USB interface (whatever you use, ethernet is way preferrable for sure). Does your DSL modem have a sync led?

Hi

Whats A Sync Led.. By The Way My Broadband Is Plugged In By A RJ-45 Cable..

So What Other Option Can Be Done..

The lights on your modem, is their a confirmed connection?

mojo8850 · Oct 17, 2004

Yes.. There Is A Confirmed Connection..

My Problem Is'nt That I Cant Get On The Internet.. The Problem Is It Is Sometimes Really Slow And Brings Up Error's Saying Page Not Found Or Network Error..

Even MSN Messenger Dont Even Log In..

Does your modem/router have an embedded firewall?

mojo8850 · Oct 18, 2004

Yes..

SPI & NAT..

Turned On Tried Turning Off Still A Lttle Wierd.. Runs Better With Them On.. But Not Perfect.

Could just be your ISP.
When I get problems (very rare

) I just reboot the modem\router.

mojo8850 · Oct 18, 2004

Hmm...

It's Telewest Broadband 3Mbit..

Try unplugging and repluggin in all your connections; you may have a wire loose somewhere. ;-)
But with DSL, your provider may have given you a bad phone line as well... I had DSL for 3 months, and went back to cable for stability.

mojo8850 · Oct 19, 2004

Hi

I Dont Think It's Hardware Related.. Because I've Checked All Connection's But No Loose Connection's Found..

I Think It's Software Related Or Windows XP Pro Configuration Setting's.. But Where..

Do you have a router? If so you have to set it up for a cable connection. Meaning the wan ip address,wan subnet mask,gateway address,etc... You can get all that info by disconnecting the router and using just your modem. Then at start ,run, type the command (ipconfig) or download WntIpcfg_Setup.exe and once installed it will give you all the info.

Its All Set.. Wan Is Set Up To The Modem..

Then if it's all set and your still having probs, you have to call your isp or the router manufacturers customer service for help to see what else it could be.
