October 13, 200421 yr Yea! I'm back online, sort of. Now I just got to get everything re-secure. And I still can't post from work. f***ing assholes.
October 13, 200421 yr I got my DSL and hooked it all up. Green lights on the power, ethernet, and DSL buttons.. but my computer is not finding the modem... any suggestions? I've re-booted so that's not the problem.

I've re-booted so that's not the problem. Did you install the modem drivers? There should be a cd or disk that came with the modem. Or, try your Windows cd.
October 13, 200421 yr Did you install the modem drivers? There should be a cd or disk that came with the modem. Or, try your Windows cd. Yea.. I have the SBC DSL disk and it stops and says it can't find the modem. It's probably defective. I told you guys I would eff this up.
October 13, 200421 yr Call the help line.... I had probs with my install and they walked me through it.
October 13, 200421 yr This may be a long shot, but STeff, go: Start > Connections > and try to connect to the ethernet port.
October 13, 200421 yr Yea.. I have the SBC DSL disk and it stops and says it can't find the modem. It's probably defective. I told you guys I would eff this up. OK, go to your start button on your desktop. Then select settings, then control panel, then system. Under system find the device manager. Check in there to see if it's recognizing a modem.
October 13, 200421 yr Call the help line.... I had probs with my install and they walked me through it. I called last night... 3 hours later.. they still had not come on the line (I was working at home with the speaker phone on). I'll try again tonight.

October 13, 200421 yr Turn the modem on. Obviously you misread above... the power light is green. :dips*** XOXOXOXO Brian.
October 13, 200421 yr Obviously you misread above... the power light is green. :dips*** XOXOXOXO Brian. I never think things through.
October 14, 200421 yr Author Yea, my internet connection is f'ed up too. Damn it. And I can't get ahold of anyone for tech support. I'm not a happy camper. I have wireless internet but my router doesn't work on the hard wired computers. Go figure.

October 14, 200421 yr On the phone with them again last night.. turns out it's an SBC issue on their end... :rolly So they said it should be fixed today or tomorrow. I told you all this would be f'd up. My luck.

I told you all this would be f'd up. My luck. Just imagine what it would be like to be the guy who hooks up the internet the first time and it works.... I dont like that guy
October 15, 200421 yr Woo hoo guys!! I am up and running.. and damn... it is FAST!!! BTW.. the issue was with Norton. I thought I removed that s*** months ago when it crashed my system.. but apparently not. Now it's gone and I am all set.
October 15, 200421 yr High speed kicks ass! I've had it for a month now and don't know how I lived without!
October 15, 200421 yr It really is stuning the difference. I go by buddies house who has 56K and its "s***, I dont know what I would do without DSL" Let me put it this way, if I ever go down to 56K, you guys will just have to get used to not having my posts. I guess now I just have to wait until heads and 2k call my cable provider and convince them to pull my serivce But seriously, dialup is awful. I'd almost never use the computer if I had to wait for sites to load and what not.
