Hi
I've just got a new dell pc running windows xp pro - plugged in existing cable modem via ethernet, which worked fine on my last pc, in right bottom corner it popped up connected 100 mpbs and everything is set up ok in LAN settings and IE, but when I open internet explorer it just says 'page cannot be displayed' on every site I try including https://autoreg.autoregister.net (https://autoreg.autoregister.net/)
A friend has the same modem from ntl and when replaced his pc with one running xp pro he just plugged it in and everything worked fine first time, no need to set anything up or put passwrods in or anything which makes me think the modem holds that info and not the pc.
I must be missing something very obvious.:confused:
Can someone please help?
