Have a Toshiba Satellite laptop about 2 years old with WinXP. DSl

working 1 day next day not working, also the dialup does not work.

Haven't made any changes or install any applications in a long

time.

Laptop came with

1. realtec ethernet
2. atheros network adapter
3. ac97 datafax softmodem

On the dsl modem are 3 lights that are lit and no dialog box telling

me that I'm not connected to the internet. When I try to access a web

page, the activity light on the modem never comes on and all I get

is a "IE cannot display webpage" page. The dsl modem does

works because I'm using it with my desktop to send this message.

Any help or ideas on why my dsl with the laptop doe not work

will be appreciated.

If it's a PPoE or PPoA connection, it needs to dial a specific number to connect. In that case, you'll need to install the same software from the DSL company as you installed to the Desktop.

Also try these.

Flush DNS

Click Start, Run, type:

IPConfig /FlushDNS [Press Enter key]

NETSH

Click Start, Run, type:

netsh winsock reset

Press Enter key

Restart the system

You can also try this software download from a working machine:
