Yes, am sitting....I find it awfully difficult to read from my screen or
type standing up. :o)

Check your settings here:

To resolve this behavior, edit the connection settings for the broadband
connection to enable automatic detection:

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
3. Click the Connections tab.
4. Under Dial-up and VPN Settings, click the broadband connection, click
Settings, and then click Automatically detect settings.
5. Click OK.
