Darleen This should get you going. Remember to use this as a guide only and enter YOUR information disregarding the fact that this is an example of how to connect to a different ISP than the one you'll be using. cybermind-usa.net Ed

Darleen ... Mulitple internet connections on one machine ///// one (or more) dialup ISPs and one cable The hookup directions from the cable company will tell you how to access their service ... as I think different companies and different cable modems require proprietary methods of installation. The cable connection is ALWAYS ON so there nothing is required to connect to the web as you are hooked up from bootup. Go ahead and install as many dialup ISPs as you own accounts (I have two myself) in the regular manner using the "Dialup Networking" icon under the "My Computer" icon. HOWEVER >>>>>>> do NOT check the boxes connect automatically* always dial a connection DO check never dial a connection This works for me as I've done it on multiple boxes since the time I got cable..... but I use Cox Cable but it is possible these directions will not work in the exact manner with other providers .... As I said the cable is always on .. but when I click on either of my dialup ISP icons I get connected to them just as if there were no cable ... in other words the dialup overrides the cable signal. Then when you disconnect the dialup in the usual manner, the cable is right there already hooked up as the connection was never affected by the override. hope this helps Nemer
