Thanks. I understand your point of ICS. However my issue is not to do with
connecting to internet using a router. I am able to connect to internet
through router even w/ICS setting.

I now want to connect my computer directly to ADSL Modem WITHOUT a router.
That is when the ethernet light is off. Let me ask this. How can I UNINSTALL
home networking in ME. I want to go back to the configuration prior to
activating home networking? I know I can reintsall windows ME. Is there a
way without that. Somehow the home networking is stealing the ethernet port.

I don't think you really need to do that. But removing the adapter from
Network Properties should have that effect. The green PCA icon next to the
name of your Ethernet card.

But if all you want is a direct connection between the computer and the
adapter, you just set up whatever connection manager is proper for your
flavor of ADSL. I would have to reinstall a PPPoE connection manager.
