The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Automatically Connect to DSL

Asked by charlieb01 in Windows Vista, DSL Lines / Cable Internet, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: Microsoft, Windows Vista, Ultimate 64-bit

I have  an HP Notebook with Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit that has a wireless connection to a LinkSys Access Point that is wired to a Linksys 8-Port Router/Switch. The Router is connected to my desktop computers and to my DSL modem. All of the computers have DHCP enabled to automatically optain an IP address on the workgroup (the workgroup is named MYHOME). The IP address for the router is 192.168.1.1

The desktop computers have Win XP-Pro and when I start one of the XP desktops I can launch I.E. and go directly to a website.
When I start the HP notbook with Win Vista - it automatically connects to the MYHOME network but in order to get Internet access I need to click on the Vista Start button, select 'Connect to", select the Verizon DSL PPPoE and then click on the CONNECT button.
I am then presented with the Username and password dialog (username is already entered and password is already saved) so then I click Connect.

I have logged onto my router (192.168.1.1) and I can see that I have set PPPoE with my Verizon DSL username and a password and that explains why my desktop is automatically connected to the DSL.

How can I configure the Vista notebook so that when it is turned on and gets its IP address (192.168.1.xxx) that it will automatically connect to the DSL so I don't need to go through the Start > Connect to procedure?

Thanks,
Charlie
