Getting a Win XP computer with AOL dialup to connect to my DSL router
Hi,
My client has AOL dialup on a Win XP laptop. He's never used DSL. I took his computer home where I have a Linksys wireless router and Earthlink DSL.
I plugged in a network cable from the laptop to the router. (not trying to go wireless).
I changed the AOL so it is no longer the default connection.
When I go to "Show all connections" and click on a connection under "Lan or High-Speed Internet," it says the speed is
100.0 Mbps and says the laptop is connected and gives the amount of time it's been connected.
I can't get to a website. I get Error 404s.
What am I doing wrongt? Are there settings I have to change?
Thanks.
