whats the model number of the modem
im getting all sorts of crap so i need the model number
one more thing to try

connections/setup
use the wizard to setup your connection
then repeat the above steps
remember to right click you lan connection and select properties
btw
i dont have the "ppp adapter msn" in your picture help2.jpg
try getting rid of that and later if you need it you could get it installed

i don't know what "ppp adapter msn" is.
maybe my dial-up connection?
Why are all the modem lights on showing "online" "activity is flashing, send is on, receive is on, standby is off.

if you have a firewall installed
uninstall it for now along with any pop-up blocker
these will only complicate the problems
ok i uninstalled sygate, re-booted - now what? Is it supposed to be on? Is there something to click? I don't get it.
you have to goto startmenu run
type cmd
type ipconfig/release
enter
type ipconfig/renew
enter
you should have a Connection-specific DNS Suffix
if its blank then you are not comunicating with the internet
reset the modem and reboot the computer
*sigh* already been released
cannot find file
can't even count how many times I unplugged re-booted
:(
Hey lynchknot, glad to see that you got your cable :D , sorry :( to see that you are having trouble. I had the something happen in that when the cable guy came and hooked it up he could not get it working so it was up to me to do so.
Have a look at this and let us know what you find out. As well it looks like you are using ether net connection, have you tried the USB to see if it will work?
