Hi All

Funny this since I have just written re Broadband. But I have a friend 
who using Win XP and bought a D-Link router/modem etc. but he can't 
configure it. It won't dial out. Trouble is he is running the windows 
firewall and some McAfree virus programme. Does he need to stop these 
running? Any ideas?

Thanks

Rich


Could it also be that the WinXP "firewall" software is preventing him accessing the 
modem/router's configuration interface?  I am guessing that it should normally 
present a web-based frontend.  If the modem/router has firewalling capabilities, 
might it be worth stopping the XP firewall all-together?
