6. Configuring your computer to connect via DSL
After you have installed your DSL Modem and Ethernet card and entered the correct network settings, you
may need to make one more set of changes in order to be connected via DSL.
If you have followed steps 1 through 6 of this manual then you should not need to do anything else to
complete your connection. If you have followed these steps and are having problems connecting, browsing
the web or sending and receiving email, please call the technical support department for your ISP for
assistance.
