Default Connecting to the Internet in a hotel

My girlfriend is away on business. She usually accesses
the internet via dial up. The hotel she is staying in
offers high speed. She has tried to use the dial up and
it won't work, and she's tried to connect to the high
speed, but it won't connect either.

We've tried to turn her computer off with the cable
plugged in to see if her computer would auto recognize
but it doesn't.

Does anyone know the setup steps required for Microsoft
ME so that she can use the cable?

Many thanks,

Jenn

Assuming she's using Internet Explorer go to Properties Connections and
change the dial-up to never dial a connection then push the LAN Settings
button and check Automatically detect settings.
