Hi,
I am helping my neighbor convert from dial up to SBC DSL. The line was
brought up and we installed all the filters in the house. The DSL came with a
Speed Strem 4100 modem. This modem looks like a high speed connection to the
PC not a broadband connection. We followed all the directions and brought the
PC up. The main problem is that after the PC comes up from being powered down
and you start IE you are unable to make a connection. If you restart the PC ,
without powering it off, you are ok until you power off and then you have to
do a system restart to get it to work. The PC is running Windows ME and is up
to current maintenance. I am running AVG and Zone Alarm. But it fails even if
I don't have them up.
I took my Speed Strem 5360 from at home and connected it on the ME PC. This
uses a broadband connect that uses the program to start and stop the
connection sending a ID and Password. Using this configuration IE works just
fine.
I took their 4100 modem to my house and connected it and it works fine, but
I am using windows XP.
Any ideas what I need to due to make ME work after a power up.

Thanks
Rick
