ADSL Connection Problem

 

how did you connect your ADSL connection to the computer?

I can only connect the dell via the USB. By using Windows XP  default PPOE or Rasppoe I can get a connection but cannot browse or access email/newsgroups.

What I can't figure out is why I can't access the web/email/NG via my old dial up 56k connection. Something must be wrong with IE but don't know what settings to check in registry.

 

Any Ideas?

I have the exact same problem. The Latitude D800 can connect to the Internet using its Network Card when I place it on the Network, but it will not work using a standalone ADSL connection. The software and configuration is exactly the same as what I am using with my Dell 4550 to connect to the Internet. When I unplug the Thompson Speedtouch 330 ADSL modem from the 4550 and plug it into the Latitude D800, nothing works.

Any ideas anyone?

I received an automated response from Dell four days ago saying:

"Thank you for choosing Dell E-Mail Support. We have received your message and look forward to serving you. Our e-mail technicians can usually answer you in six to twelve hours."

But nothing since that.

I have a similar proble. I can brows on the LAN, but on on dial-up or independant DSL connection I get page not found. Sometimes If I use an IP address instead of a domain name, it will work. I have confirmed that I'm using the right DNS servers, but it does sound like a DNS problem. On the LAN I use LAN DNS which redirect out to the same DNS servers I'm using for dial-up. A reinstall of windows xp work for about an hour. By the way, this happens on 2 machines. Go Figure :( any ideas......?
