I am using Windows XP SP2 and a connection ADSL, am receiving IP
automatically for the ADSL, however "null or limited Connection" appears a
message.

That's normal. Your ADSL modem assigns an IP address to the broadband
ADSL connection, but it doesn't assign one (and doesn't need to assign
one) to the Local Area Connection.

In the Network Connections folder, right-click the Local Area
Connection, click Properties, and un-check the box that says "Notify
me when this connection has limited or no connectivity".

Did you un-check the box on the Local Area Connection? Un-checking it
on the ADSL broadband connection might not solve the problem.

Are you able to connect to sites on the Internet? If not, have you
contacted your ADSL provider for help with the problem?

If those suggestions don't help, please reply with full details of
your ADSL setup, including:

1. What type of modem you have and how it connects to your computer.

2. The names of all the connections that appear in the Network
Connections folder.

3. The complete and exact text of the message that you're seeing.

4. Which connection is giving the message.

5. Any other information that can help other people understand the
problem.
