You said the shortcut has a name on it...
do you mean the shortcut is called something? Or do you mean clicking on the
shortcut brings you to a login screen, where you are then connected?
If the latter, then you have a PPPoE connection, and you will need software for
that. I think Winpoet, if that's not what you already use. Its really an iffy
thing. Most of the time, with DSL and/or cable, after a reinstall, you just
plug in the ethernet to the modem and you're well on your way, connection
automatically set up. But, if your DSL company uses PPPoE, that means you need
to sign in first. And, you need a program to do it.
If your company gave you a setup CD, that's probably what you would need for
the PPPoE connection. Otherwise, check your ISP's website.

Hi Troth,
I am ashamed here...............I don't know!!
When I start the computer my modem starts also and the only thing I do to go
online is click on the shortcut on my desktop, and yes that shortcut has a
name on it, and then I am online.

computer WindowsME and what I would like to know is how do I log on to the
internet after I have done the reformat. Where can I find the right settings
for that, is that in OE Extra/Options or Internet Explorer Extra/Internet
Options or do I find them at Control Panel Network. I want to write them
down so I don't have to call the helpdesk to ask how to log on. I have DSL.
