multipal Connections

On one computer there are 3 connections, 2 local one broadband. It's hooked up to a router working, the dial up keeps popping up no matter how many times I've changed it to - never dial a connection and in Lan settings I've checked detect auto settings but it goes back immediately. Think it's one of those connections. ???? Will post photo when I can reduce it. It keeps getting bigger.

oh I give up. I'll try later

Connections on other computer

 

Thats OK, I can wait. Did everyone put me on their ignore list?

 

Any network guns out there who can help a lady out?

Would be much appreciated so fire away with any question you may have!!!!

 

Thanks, seems like everyones gone, appreciate your help.

 

It shows disconnected but it's not. Both computers are hooked through a DSL Gateway Actiontec Router, not the USB the other ones, the bigger ones Ethernet. I can't figure what that numbered connection on the one thats having the pop up for dial up. I'm leary of deleting any but think that might be the cause. The SBC (which is now ATT) self support tool doesn't seem to detect anything.

 

ok, I uninstalled the network adapter that had the number with it. Where are local connections? same place as device manager?
can't find dialup

 

I restarted the computer and IT'S BACK the local connection 1394 connection 4. It's evil,!!!!
In the image above it says 1394 connection 3.

 

can't find dialup

 

I do not know

 

This is what comes up from that location. I went to tool on the browser to internet options, connections, never dial from there. To click on properties on this window all that appears is - box titled RPC Service, with the only option being Windows Locater, or DCE Cell Directory Service.

 

just the never dial one option

 

local connection 1394 connection , is a firewire connectin on your computer its fine, the dsl going though a router, means you should only have a lan connection icon. The dialup type connection is actually a ppoe connection which is what you will use if hookedup direcctly to the modem, not going through any router.

 

Thank you

 

It's a dialup box. I close it, go to tools, internet options and move it back to (never dial a connection). Then some times a small box pops up to connect, not saying how. Some time you can close it, other times it won't let you play games or get music until you click on connect. My conputer doesn't do that, but I also have 2 icons, the DSL showing it's disconnected too.

 

Ok are you connected through a router or not?

 

Yes, have two computers connected through it.

 

then delete the connection titled sbcdsl.

 

on both computers?

 

Yes the only time you need that is when your connected directly to the modem, which your not cause your usinga router.

 

OK, here goes
