In this article, we will take a closer look at what needs to be done to set up an Internet connection from a computer on an operating system. Windows system xp. But before that, some things need to be cleared up:
- The steps below are relevant only when you connect a cable from your ISP directly to your computer. Your connection scheme should not include devices such as routers, WiFi routers or Combo-devices, on which a PPPoE connection is also raised. If you raise a second PPPoE connection on your computer, they will constantly interrupt each other and your connection to the Internet will be disconnected every minute. And do you need it?
- There is no need to think that you are connecting directly if there is a cable from your router to the computer. In this case, you do not need to additionally connect to the Internet on your computer. If you have any of the listed devices, then you need to go to the topic.
