I'm starting to feel like a complete idiot.
I use IE7, Wind. XP on one computer, vista (ie7) on the other.
I had an internet connection set up for me. I was having some issues with
it such as: some web pages were not opening, getting "could not connect
messages", slow etc. So... I decide that I will set up a new internet
connection. I started doing alot of research on exactly what kind of
connection I needed to set up...I read so many helps etc and I am more
confused than when I started. Anyway now under my network connections I have
two listed.. one says it's called Broadband connection, WAN miniport (PPOE)
and the other says Local area connection, Rhine II fast ethern... . I don't
know which was the old one, I seem to be connecting with the lan one. It
tells me its going to connect now when before it just automatically did.....
I have two computers, hooked up to a router and the only thing I would like
to share is the printer. Is that considered to be a network? A lan?
Broadband? what type of connection do I want? and I thought Broadband was
like high speed cable, which is what I have. Also now on the other computer
(vista), when you open iexp it says "This webpage is unavailable because you
are offline", yet it I click on one of my favorites it goes there so I must
be connected. I screwed around with both computers' internet, ie, and
firewall settings and configurations trying to make them the same, I wish
I never would have done anything. I discovered for some reason my system
restore was not turned on so I couldn't restore it. If somebody could just
give me some info and answer those questions I will try and make things right
if I can. I would very much appreciate any help.
