SOLVED Re: [Gllug] OT: Windows XP refuses internet access

<RANT option="lets just get it out of the way">

Well, I ended up deleting the DUN (or should that be DUNG) settings, and 
re-configuring the network card! There seems to be no way to tell the damned 
beast that the NIC is the default connection. Well, what can I say!? "Typical 
Bill Gates botch job!" - so says my m8 who has come to laugh at me fightin 
this piece of crap. I ask you, two fscking days! Was that a pig overhead 
trailing a banner saying "User Friendly"?

I suppose we'll be getting through the whole box of wine tonight waiting for 
this.... And I just knew I needed a fresh goat! Don't think my boyfriend 
would be too happy if I turned to his puppy (and anyway, goats are so much 
more effective.)

</RANT>

So - thanks for the pointers! I think I'll surface (Blaine like) from my 
cellar in 44 days, since she's done NO updates since buying the machine a 
year ago!

Cheers

Dylan
