    So you had Dial-up service before or something? If thas the case maybe the computer is defaulting to that connection...try going into the Internet Browser settings; for IExplorer go to Tools--> Internet Options, click the Connections tab and in the little Box w/ the Title Dial-up and VPN Settings make sure no Dial-up connection is there...if so click it and remove it from the list, click Ok, OK and close the Internet Browser and try again.

    What Operating System are u running BTW? If XP another thing you can do is do a Start--> Run and type ncpa.cpl and hit enter. Click Advanced in the Menu Bar on top and select Advanced Settings. In the Connections list make sure the connection u use primarily is the one to the top of the list, if not move it up and click ok.

    Hope that helps.

    Or, "Ok, I just put a big batch of delicious chocolate cookies in the cookie jar, which I happened to leave on the counter next to the sink, don't take any!"
