capo Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have two PC's connectiing to Blueyonder broadband via a wireless router. My main PC had problems and I formatted and re-installed Windows XP. Inserted the disc for Blueyonder broadband installation, It gets as far as checking for connection after connecting to modem and will go no farther, reporting errors. There is no connection showing in Network Connections. Second PC connects OK. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 If the DHCP Client service is running, the interface is set to auto-configure TCP/IP settings. Have you tried turning the router off and then back on again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes. Still no joy. Even taken the router out of the equation and connected direct to the adsl modem, without success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxy1010 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 What sort of Tech support have you been given when you tried to reach them? Are they any good. When you get a modem from HughesNet Their tech support can vary from place to place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
