Broadband Help Please!
Ok, i am VERY pissed off at the moment! I havbee everything setup for Broadband, the modem is all installed, my account has been activated, the phone lines all set up ok. I just can't get the damn account set up!!! I have my username and password, the IP adress to connect to, and also the DNS adress.
Can someone please give me a step-by-step run down on how to do this in Windows XP. It would be MUCH appreciated!!!

I'm confused, what sort of modem or whatever are you using, which account are you referring to

I have an ADSL modem.
I have an ADSL ISP account, with a username, password, and all these settings they gave me.

Yeah i've done that.
But i was wondering where abouts do you enter in the IP and DNS details???
The wizard only asks you to enter in the username and password.
u dont need a DNS Server, you need a ADSL Enabled phone line , you cant just buy a modem and set it up, it needs to ben enabled at the exchange, then you just connect automatically, ..

Hmmm.... well all thats been done apparently, It has been enabled at the exchange. So what you set up the modem then what? Do you actually need to connect or does it do it automatically??
