Internet Connection Problem
HELP! HELP ME! PLEASE LAWD!  I got a call from a friend who just bought a Dell Inspiron 530 (with Vista I think). They can't connect to their ISP. It sounds like it is trying to use a dial up connection rather than broadband. I tried walking them through the connection setup and everything sounds fine. Any ideas (links appreciated)? I don't want to make a trip over there if I can avoid it. |

Did they connect directly to the ISP modem ( adsl or cable ). Bypass your router if you have one.
If yes, and it doesn't connect, are there user/pass properly put into the IPS modem by login into the modem?

Where's the "Never dial a connection" option on Vista Internet settings? I need them to check that out. |

Maybe start from scratch...
Go into the control panel, system settings, hardware and delete the nic card . Reboot, the pc will find the nic and should install the drivers .... Make sure the drivers are the proper ones.

make sure they have the latest drivers for their modem.. I was having wireless issues awhile back and updated my drivers and now I can pick up signals from anywhere and new drivers might help them too
