Internet connection
I have just installed Vista Ultimate & I can't connect to the internet.When
I try to set a new connection It says broadband & I have AT&Tdsl.It tries to set up a network & I don't have a network card as I have only one computer.It keeps saying pppoe & as far as I'v been able to find on google this is a network thing.In XP they give you a setup wizard & it works so do I have to setup a router then network it in order to connect to internet ? I appreciate any help or info. Thanks

I *appreciate any help or info. Thanks Is your computer is connected to a DSL modem by an ethernet cable? There are two ADSL protocols - pppoe and pppoa. The one the is used depends on which country you are in. "Though PPPoE is used in most of the countries, ADSL in the UK, New Zealand, Belgium, France, Denmark, Italy, Austria (for some providers), Poland and the Netherlands uses PPPoA. In those areas the ADSL modem/router supplied needs to support PPPoA." Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-t...tocol_over_ATM I would ask your ISP support about which protocol to use and how to set the correct one for your country.
