Hi,
I'm having real problems with this, but then again I am a newbie.

Right, have connected my conexant modem to my laptop with Ethernet ports,
typing the ipaddress into the address by opens a webpage with settings on -
all of which are correct.

but when I type a web address in I get nothing.

can anyone help, or point by to a good beginners guide to networking etc...

thanks

kevin

It sounds like you`ve actually done everything - has it worked
previously, ie. can you confirm the line is actually "live" as
far as adsl is concerned ?

What settings have you checked? What DNS ip's are you using?

uk.comp.home-networking is a good place to ask further.

Is your dial-up modem set to "Never dial" ?

Check the DNS settings in your network configuration.
