    Is everything setup in Device Manager?...any yellow warnings?
    Are the drivers installed?, is all your options and settings in Network Connections done?

    What about Internet Connections?, is IOLBB setup as your default?, do you have anything ticked under advance settings or proxy servers etc.?
    Check everything over a few times, make sure your username and password is correct.

    If not...then it could be that your line has not been activated at the DSL exchange, some customers report they recived the modem before the line was setup.

    If this is the case...please remember to complain and bitch at Esat staff to ensure they improve things for others.

    ;)

    Were there is more to tit then that, all sorts of things to check. Just ensuring he covers all his bases before he makes the call.

    I couldn't connect at the start, until i found out i had to put @iolbb at the end, i know he said he did this. Just he should give it a good going over just to see.

    hey guys, thanks for the replies!

    it seems to have just sorted itself out! i'm on it now, d/l's at 53 kbps, i'm happy! ;)

    and as far as resetting limits goes, i was away for a few days, and from what i can gather i was actually activated on either the 31st or the 1st, making it the perfect time! :) yay!

    again, thanks for the help

    Richard, hush. Stop trying to drive each thread you post in off topic! I think people are past caring about your personal tales of woe!
