    Hey all,
    I need a bit of help :/
    I just got a new 6mg NTL line in but it dosent seem to work on my pc :( I have office 2000, its a good enough machine with 256mb ddr 2gb hard drive and plenty of memory, do i need to change my ports or something to get it going?

    The computer only seems to want to try to connect through the normal dial up modem which is still there, obviously i can only connect the BB to the computer by the LAN card, do i need to try and switch the computer to recognise the lan card for the net rather than it trying to use the modem?

    Any help at all would be great lads! Thanks

    You need to disable the option to dial up when you want to connect to the internet.
    To do this open Internet Explorer, Go to Tools then Internet Options, click on the Connections tab, Choose the option "never dial a conneciton" and then apply and then ok. When you reopen it shouldn't ask you to dial up and should connect to the internet.

    Hope this works.
    If not you made need to make sure you are obtaining an IP address automatically. Found this on Google to help do that.
