I have win2000 professional and office xp installed and would like the correct procedure to connect it to the internet.I tried removing RAS and that did'nt work.The wizard keeps connecting to the wrong phone connection.It also is not getting the correct password.My procedure is not correct.Connect to a lan,to a hub ,to a router.

I seem to be getting all the advice but what I require and the computer is responding as if it is getting the wrong directions.
I would appreciate it,if you could point me in the right direction.Any mail directed to
algorithym@hotmail.com will arrive on my doorstep.

Thanking you,
ROBERT.

In Internet Explorer go to Tools --> Options --> Connections --> And set accordingly. I believe you should have "Never dial a connections" checked (if you want to use your nic/LAN for internet connection).... Or you should set it to the second option... (dial whenever a network connection is not available). Check your Proxy server settings as well -- especially if you are running RAS on the same computer. Save these settings and you should be fine.
