internet connection wizard not authorized
I'm trying to change my internet connection from dial-up
to a LAN (router connected to DSL). However, when I try to run the internet connection wizard, it says: "Access Denied. You are restricted from running the internet connection wizard. Contact your Network Administrator for more info." The machine once was part of a network, but no more. Also in control panel/internet options/connection, the "setup" button is greyed out, so I can only use dial-up connections. Any ideas on how to switch to the LAN? Thanks. |
