we have dsl and got a new computer with XP home edition already installed on it and are able to usually get a connection, however explorer cannot find that there is a connection and gives us an error message when that the server cannot be found. we tried doing the automatic network connection, but it doesn't do anything. my husband thinks its a tcp/ip protocoll set up properly, but there is no way to establish a new protocoll under the network settings. also, the computer only off and on recognizes that the dsl card is there and in working order. can anybody help? thanks
