I have a person at my office who received a laptop for Xmas, mostly uses at
his home where he connects to AOL using a phone line connection. He also
wants to use at the office (we have a T1 line-Broadband). I had assigned a
IP address to the laptop and after several attempts and calls to his cable
company (he also uses a cable connection on a desktop at his home and likes
their version of e-mail), I had him connected ok. Now something has
changed and I am unable to connect him here at the office. I have tried
many different scenarios and connections, nothing works. I'm not sure what
happened. Also, I can't seem to locate the IP address file anymore. He has
XP home ed. on the laptop. Any ideas what the problem might be or how I can
get this connection to work again.
Thanks

Hello
You will need to go into Control Panel>Network Connections then Create a New
Connection for each connection you are going to use then right click the
connections you are not using and disable them, you will need to disable and
enable depending on the one you are going to use at that time, you can setup
as many connections as you wish.
