ADSL in XP
After a nice and easy install of Whistler, i tried to install the ADSL software from my provider, Telstra (aust. ) and it fails to detect a valid network stack to use to connect to the net through the ADSL modem.
After a nice and easy install of Whistler, i tried to install the ADSL software from my provider, Telstra (aust.) and it fails to detect a valid network stack to use to connect to the net through the ADSL modem. In win2k, I have the one cable into a hub, which the adsl modem is also connected to. The NIC has it's own ip address and the adsl binds to the P.P.P.o.E. adapter which has DHCP enabled. (no ip specified) This works fine and allow simutaneous internet and LAN connections over the same cable through the same NIC. This setup does not work with XP for some reason. I can still connect to the other computer on the network so it's not the NIC which is the problem.
Is there some special switch i need to enable for LAN connections to the internet to be enabled?.

Yay, that worked sweet. I tried to do that b4, except i skipped the scren which has the information for modem connection (area code, phone number). This time i entered values into the fields and the setup did the rest.
