Please consider giving us some info on your PC (processor, amount of RAM, etc.), the internet connection (cable, DSL, dialup, ISDN, LAN, ), physical description of what is plugged into what (for example: cable modem plugged into USB network adapter) so that we can help you.
Thanks,
James

Osaria,

Even though the subject line is "somewhat" descriptive, it is rather vague... "I'm Stupid, please help me"

First, I don't think your stupid, nor would I, your post is descriptive, well authorative, to the point, and explains why you need help... It's just your choice of subject, that is in question...

Second, as it appears, you are getting help, so the subject line has been fulfilled...

The next time you post, you might choose to use a more "descriptive" subject line. For this post, even though you got what help you needed, though you did have to "degrade" yourself in the process, you might try, as for this post, a subject line like: "Can't connect to the Internet", or "Problems with connecting to Internet", or even "Internet Access - HOWTO ?"

With a more descriptive subject line, you might get more answers, since a lot of people might not open a posting that simply says "HELP" in it. If you give more information on your subject line, you will get more people to read, and respond, that are more likely to know how to fix that issue.

To help you on a modem / connection issue, we need information about your hardware, and how you connect with it... Like, what modem do you use, and how that connects to the Internet. You can look in KMenu -> System -> Info Center -=- and see what shows up. As for windows, you can go into ( sorry, last thing I ever ran in Windoes was Win98 ) -=- Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -=- and then open up Modems - and do a Querry on your modem, it should send out ATI commands to your configured modem, and see what output you get. Anyway, if you are not using a modem, then this is all non-sense...
