Hello, I recently bought a new laptop and am trying to go online using my cable ISP account but it is not letting me. I was able to go online using my dial up account on it. I also have an old computer/desktop that I use with the cable. I have not bought a router yet. I unplugged the cable cord from the back of the old desktop and plugged it into the laptop, it is not letting me online though with cable. Do I have to do something to the settings for this? thanks, christy --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
