I am using cable connection at home and right now I am using a software provided by my ISP to connect to them.I want to connect through normal connections.
For example when you go to start -> settings -> network connection and make new connection.
I am trying to setup my connection manually and then provide my username and password.
You should have a Cable/DSL modem, and set up a new connection for your ethernet card which in turn connects to this modem. Then, simply use DHCP for the simplest possible configuration.

(Just a heads-up)

Can you please explain that how do I use DHCP for that...
Connect the thing then go into network setup for the particular NIC its connected to. Check the TCP/IP settings and set it to "automatically get connection settings" or whatever it's called.

DHCP is the default BTW.
I have 2 NIC...Do u mean the NIC connected to MODEM...???
Originally posted by wrack OK then I will try that out...Just a question to confirm...
I need to turn on DHCP and automatically get connection settings both on the nic connected to cable modem...
Cheers...
I meant to say turn on "DHCP and automatically get connection settings" both on the NIC connected to modem and again english is not my first language...
BTW I can't find anything like automatically get connection setting or similar to that...
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) simply assigns a new IP to the card everytime the addresses update.
Right-click a network adaptor and click properties, and TCP/IP, and you can either assign a STATIC IP, which is prefered, or via DHCP, which is less secure but easier to configure.
If you use a firewall, you must allow guest systems access via their respective ID's and not IP addresses, as they could obviously change without notice.
DHCP was invented by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a way to enable individual computers on an IP network to extract their configurations from a server (the 'DHCP server') or servers, in particular, servers that have no exact information about the individual computers until they request the information. The overall purpose of this is to reduce the work necessary to administer a large IP network.
Also remember... Microsoft's DHCP does not allow BOOTP clients, although the two can co-exist.

Thanks for the info but I know what a DHCP is but the thing is I can't find it in TCP/IP properties...
