Thanks & I know it doesn't as I wrote a disclaimer as such but figured
everyone has an ISP.

1a - as I said, I have a single line filter on the phone, which is in the
kitchen & no filter on the wall in the bedroom where the DSL is plugged in,
using a 40 foot phone line

1b - as i stated, w/ a single line filter on the dsl in the wall, it doesn't
work at with one, so i tried several & same result so i removed it

1c - yes, i know where the Ethernet goes & i never said it's an internal
modem, rather, it's the Motorola 2210 modem

2 - see 1a

thanks but all is as you say, except the filter allows nothing to connect
from the bedroom jack, so i removed it & it works, when it does, or else,
nothing w/ the filter

Sorry if this is not the proper NG but I tried a Windows Forum for ISP's

connectivity, & of course have dealt with AT&T too many times to count &
am fed up with them.

so maybe someone here has had similar issues. Or maybe you can point me
in the right direction.

I have the Motorola 2210 Modem

I have 1 phone hooked up to one jack & this PC/Modem to another. I have
a
filter on the phone end only as when trying the filter on the PC end
too,
it has never worked.

There is no Router. No other user. It's a basic 1 PC set up. I have a
40"
phone line running from the wall jack into this room - no connectors,
just one 40' line. It does not cross or run parallel any other AC lines.

You are quite right - this is not the proper newsgroup for this question
as
it has nothing to do with Windows XP. A much better venue for you would be
one or more of the forums at www.dslreports.com.

A few thoughts:

1. The normal DSL set up is:

a. Two-part filter at the phone jack. One connection is for a telephone
(optional) and one connection is for the DSL cable. The DSL cable
terminates at the DSL modem.

b. Single-part filters go in every phone jack that is for the telephone
number shared by the DSL connection.

c. An ethernet cable runs from the DSL modem to the computer's network
adapter connector. No PCI modem (in the computer) is involved at all.

2. I don't get what you have a 40" - or 40' since you wrote it both ways -
phone line in this equation at all. You can plug the DSL modem into any
phone jack in any room.

If you aren't conforming to the normal DSL setup described in Item #1
above,
that's probably why you are having connectivity issues.
