Well i couldn't connect to my isp.  I tried everything.  My friend who
installed it via PPP connection couldn't even get it to work.  He sayed it
must be a problem with my modem.  plus when i look at the devices it
reports back to me it shows i have 23 conflicts (all of which i resolved).
I think i might try an install via dos partition unless you have any other
ideas.  Thank you.
