When I tried to load the software to use my DSL service I
recieved the following message: "Your computet has a
network adapter installed, but not bound to TCP/IP. You
must bind the adapter to TCP/IP before you can contiue".
Any suggestions? Any and all suggestions and help is
appreciated. By the way I am a newbie.

You gotta love computer-speak. If there's a complicated way of saying
something easy, we'll find it.

To bind means simply to link. Your computer has a network card installed,
but the card hasn't been linked to the software it needs to access the
Internet. Accomplishing this high tech task requires...one checkmark. Go to
Start > Network Connections and right click on your DSL connection. Choose
Properties, and on the General tab, under 'Connect using' you will see a
list of protocols (don't ask), one of which is Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Place a checkmark in TCP/IP and OK your way out of there.

ISPs specfy particular settings for TCP/IP. You should check with your ISP
to be sure that TCP/IP is setup correctly on your computer.

Hey Rocky,.....yes, I too am mesMerized by computer
speak,....d-a-h. I did everything you suggested, but had
no success. Therefore I sent an e-mail to the server and
asked if there were IP addresses in order for my DSL to
work correctly. Like I told them, I don't mind paying
for DSL, but it would be nice of it worked though. If
there are any further suggestions or ideas,.....I would
be greatful.

Thanks,

Tiger

Best to work with your ISP on this one. Different ISPs use different
software for DSL connections.

Like you, I used to think that if I paid for something with perfectly good
dollars, I should receive a perfectly good product in return.

Have you enabled DHCP?
