I'm Having Trouble entering the correct settings in order for my connection to work. Can Anyone here help me or know of a web site that give info on this?
 
Interesting. Ok, go to Control Panel->Internet Options->Connections Tab->Click setup and pick the last choice, "I want to use a LAN, etc." then follow the steps and report back, hehe

Ok, go back in there and click on "LAN settings" and make sure that "Automatically find proxy settings" is checked. If it is, then I don't know what's wrong.

I have @home. it's possible the computer name is set incorrectly. @home (not sure about road runner) recognizes a specific computer name, see what it said for computer name on your 9x rig and copy it your 2k rig. r u DHCP or static IP?
 
Mltsao: One thing you didn't mention is if you're sharing the RR connection with a router. Instead of pointing your DNS at the router, you have to point to the actual DNS server IPs (you need to pull these from the router's DHCP settings). This is something I can't figure out why, but it's the way Win2K does its networking.


 
did it work before, and stop? or are you setting this up for the first time? rr uses dynamic IPs, and you should have it set to detect the gateway and ip address automatically (rr servers will give you those everytime you log on). rr does not use proxies.
 
I'm Not using a router and non of the things that any of u mentioned are not problems.
Mabye it's the D-Link DSB 650 USB ethernet Adaptor that im using... the road runner manual said some of these may not work properly
