Installing DSL For A Friend
I was trying to help a friend install his new DSL today. I spent over 4 hours of very hard IT type work trying to get it to work.
Instead of a "LAN or High-Speed Internet" section in the Network Connections I had a Bridged Network section. I have never seen this. There was not TCP/IP stack for the Local Area connection. I finally right-clicked on it and clicked remove bridging. Then I had a "LAN or High-Speed Internet" section and the Local Area Connection had a TCP/IP stack.
I still had to work with three Earthlink technicians to get it working.
