Okey... HELP!!!! my future is at stake

Jorath Calar · 03-06-2004, 03:42 PM

Well kind of... at least my sanity is at stake but I bet I got your attention now... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I decided in some momentary madness today to switch over to XP from Windows 2000. I have XP corporate edition and when I installed it everything went great... until I was going to connect to the internet. Not only had my dsl connection disapeared (so much for keeping the old settings eh Bill?) but it won't allow me to create a new one. When I got to the add connection wizard I can only make a broadband connection that is premanent and doesn't requiere signing on but the option to make the kind I need. with signing and logging in is greyed out... anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
All help most appreciated!

Perhaps the corporate version doesn't allow that particular connection? Sounds strange to me, but I see no other reason why it wouldn't let you make the necessary connection.

Try running a query through the MS Knowledge base.

Corprate? You mean Pro right? I got the same thing and I'm connected fine. Two things. Contact your internet provider, and contact the DSL modem manufacturer for help. I'm going to assume you are on a different computer than the one you are having issues with.

you might have to reinstall something or other from your isp.

Jorath Calar · 03-06-2004, 04:18 PM

I installed my isp disk again, but nothing happened... I'm on my laptop right now...

apparantly my isp does not have a 24 hour hotline... I was told to check their homepage (oh the irony) or call at worktime...

Yeah, the "no internet-check webpage" routine is familliar tome.
I don't think that's an error(DSL is always connected without logon), but it's a communications error of the OS. Try dual-boot.

You got me off the crapper for this!? *Grabbs Jorath and throws him out the window*

Thankfully the window is XP and the connection to the outside world is non functional... so I'm okey.
