1. Click "Start" and then "My Network Places"
2. Click on "View Network Connections"
3. Right click "Local Area Connection" and then left click on "Properties"
4. Find the item in the list that says Internet protocol (TCP/IP)
5. Highlight it and click on the "Properties" button
6. If your modem is set to use DHCP it will assign an IP address and DNS addresses to your computer so that it can talk to the network and internet. You need to have the radio button selected that says "Obtain an IP address automatically". If your modem is not set for DHCP (you need to refer to the modem setup instructions) then you have a number of things that need to be configured manually and unfortunately only your ISP can tell you what some of them are. They would have given you a setup sheet with DNS addresses etc. I can't help much if I don't know what they are. Best to call them.
