I'm curious....what software is this? Does it have something do with the DSL or with browsing the web? I've had ADSL hooked up to this machine.......which run's Windows 2000...... and am presently using cable and have had no problems with either and.........I installed no proprietary garbage software. I surf the web with IE and do my email in Outlook. The only difference I found between DSL and cable (as far as setup goes) is that here, cable uses DHCP (automatic IP address, gateway, DNS, etc settings) and the DSL used Static IP and other settings. What problem did you have with your connection and how did you get your IP address (static assignment or DHCP assigned)?
