This is probably so simple but I'm concerned that getting on the internet will be a frustrating experience (as it has in the past).
I'm building a new rig with xp home. It will replace my other system which also has xp home. The other system is currently hooked up to sbc dsl (not sbc yahoo though, bandwidth isn't limited)) through a linksys router, which it shares with my girlfriends xp home computer. It is working fine. So my question is what should I expect in terms of swapping the old rig for the new one. Are there some things I should write down prior to disconnecting the existing computer? It's been years since I had to set up dsl and I vaguely remember needing numbers and stuff. I don't have any documentation from sbc and would greatly desire to not have to call their support people.
It would be really lame of me if I can build a computer from scratch but can't get it connected to the internet
Thanks.
