DSL Problem

[Redemmer]

Ok I switched my OS to Win2000 Professional. When I still was using 98, Dsl seemed fine and logging on was very fast. So now when I switched to Win2k, logon takes forever and freezes occasionally. Anybody know what I am doing wrong here?

Could be lots of things, but likely a hardware /driver problem.

Logging on? I didn't think you had to "log on" with either of the broadband services (cable or dsl).

Depends if it is a PP0E connection or not

If you are usinga DSL connection that has a Dynamic IP and you connect through PPPoE, you have to use software to login like "WinPoet" ever time you reboot your computer (unless there is an option for you to automatically connect each time you boot up.)

Redemmer,
What DSL provider do yo have? Maybe your provider has different software to connect you to the Net in WIn2K Pro?

I now use Pacbell and go through PPPOE connection

RASPPPOE

Try that maybe, I've heard it helps lots of people with their icky pppoe connections, with symptoms like yours.

Good luck!
