I have started to notice a lot of vista systems that are connected direct
to
cable modems saying not connected to internet or showing unidentified
network. You cannot create a new connection, because the create a
connection
is for PPPoE only, (which is not very smart). And when the browser gives
you
the option to connect, it asks for name/password for a PPPoE connection.
1. How do I get the Vista networking to recognize the fact is has a direct
connection to the Internet?
2. How can you create a new connection without it defaulting to PPPoE?
3. Is there any way to force Vista to simply connect to a network, if the
network is available, and has been checked with other computers as working
properly, and Network discovery is on, and vista simply says unknown
network??
