Broadband Connection interface not needed?

[Spin]

Hi,

I can't figure out why the connection "Broadband Connection" exists under my
"Network Connections folder" on this Windows XP Pro computer. I use this PC
behind a Proxy Server to connect to the Internet so all I need is the "Local
Are Connection". I have SDSL which connects my proxy server to the
Internet. All packets going to the Internet leave through the "Local Area
Connection" interface so why is the "Broadband Connection" interface even
needed?

Did you install any software provided by your ISP when you signed up for
SDSL?

I wouldn't worry about it then. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
