Hi,

Being a broadband novice, I though I would post this to check whether or not this is the norm.

I have had a 300K service from ntl for a few days now. Everything was going well until I got a "new network" message on booting up yesterday. I now have two internet networks that my PC is connected to and, in the light of security worries, wondered if there was anything amiss.

ntl customer support told me that perhaps the PC was seeing itself as an internet connection, but I am not wholly convinced.

I am running an ancient Win 98 SE setup, no bluetooth adapter or the like. Just the cable modem.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the reason for the two networks?

Much obliged.

Dave
