DSL software installation problems on XP Pross, SP2
I tried to install a Bell South DSL system and had problems. Called Bell
South Tech support. After 2 hours on the phone, Bell South said that the problem was with the SP2 and I should talk to MS support. My question is there a work around patch for the SP2/DSL software? Thank You Matt |

There is NO software needed for DSL -- NONE !
If you use PPPoE for DSL, WinXP has a PPPoE client. Even better, get a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41 and it, not the PC, will make the PPPoE connection PLUS it will act as a simplistic FireWall or , based upon the model, a full FireWall. There are many more benefits to using the Router as well. -- Dave "MATT MATHIESON" wrote in message ... | I tried to install a Bell South DSL system and had problems.

specifically, what problems did you have ?
did the BellSouth-provided software crash ? did the BellSouth-provided software finished without error ? did you get no icons ? did you get an icon to make a connection, launched it, and failed to get a connection ? what do you see in Network Connections ? anything setup in Broadband ? some specifics would help regarding what steps you took, what steps finished without error, what steps failed, what error messages did you get, what did you inspect for causes (troubleshooting steps) etc. MATT MATHIESON wrote: I tried to install a Bell South DSL system and had problems.

Called Bell South Tech support. After 2 hours on the phone, Bell South said that the problem was with the SP2 and I should talk to MS support. As has happened before, the BellSouth Tech lied to you. My question is there a work around patch for the SP2/DSL software? Id there were, the only possible source would be BellSouth, as it's they're software that's incompatible with a properly patched operating system. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace.
