Internet connection with Vista...

[Allthatufear48]

I am pretty confused by this and was wondering if anyone could help me instead of sitting on the phone forever. But I have a cable connection with a router, 2 computers are connected to it. With XP it was pretty easy to set up a connection, but with vista it set one up...but while surfing a box will pop up sometimes asking me to 'dial broadband connection' asking for username and password. Didn't think a cable connection needed all that....so i click cancel, after a second the internet works. Then a little later it comes back, it sucks cause it kills my connection till i click cancel...and I have no idea what to do..

If you open up Control Panel>Internet Options>Connections tab. There's a heading 'Dial-up and Virtual Private Network Settings' and under that a white box. In that box, are there any connections listed? If there are, select them and tick the box 'Never Dial a Connection.' You shouldn't need any connections setup within Windows, the necessary information is stored within your modem/router.

There is nothing listed there. But under my 'Network Connections' there was 2 connections. There was a disconnected Broadband connection and then the working LAN or High-Speed Connection. I think the broadband connection was the problem and what kept messing it all up. I deleted it and everything seems ok. Guess we will see...thanks for the help.
