| Basicly, just run Internet Connection Wizard...
XP has PPPoE drivers installed on it, if you run the E300 install, you may corrupt your system so bad you need to format....

Or just do this, 10 simple steps.
1) Create a new connection
2) Choose Connect to Internet
3) Create Manually (option 2)
4) Connect Using Broadband Connection that requires a username and password
5) Give it a name (IE: DSL)
6) Put in your name and password (Don't forget to add your ISP's domain as part of your userid, IE: for Verizon it is userid@verizon.net)
7) Right click and choose properties for that new connection
8) Empty entry in Service name to let it use Wan PPPoE
9) Go to Networking Folder, choose Internet Protocol TCP/IP
10) Choose Properties - Make sure everything is auto assigned

Had a hella time trying to get XP to work. Here's how I did it.
My issues:
1. Upgraded from 2000(big mistake).
2. Used the SBC disk(second big mistake).
3. Followed the XP setup from SBC to a tee. No luck.
4. Called SBC Help Desk and got the response of "it's too new and not even our 2nd level can help and 3rd level only works 9-5/M-F(WOW, really, how lucky for them).
5. Format drive.
6. Clean install XP.
7. During user interaction setup, selected the broadband bullet(DSL or Cable Modem).
8. When XP asked for the name of my ISP, I entered SBCIS/My User Name/My Password.
9. XP tries to connect and does so successfully.
10. Reboot after setup and click IE icon and get a dial-up box asking if I'd like to connect to my ISP. OK.
11. On the information highway at a reduced rate.
12 Oh well at least I have the internet now. |
