My BT connection interface has been stubborn for a while now. If I try to log-in via the pop up window provided it won't let me in despite providing the correct information. So I get round this by selecting the same connection through the start > connections menu to connect and then use MSN to bring up IE.

Now the problem is this: any link provided on MSN chat brings up the stubborn BT window which refuses to let me log-in (despite already being logged in via the start menu - and no the problem doesn't come from me already being logged in) and this is the way my FTP program wants to go too.

Question is: how do I redirect my FTP program (and MSN, links-wise) into using the basic (start menu) connection and not bringing up the stubborn BT interface?

Broadband.

I might give that a go then.

How do I connect using just the modem and drivers then?

I was having problems with bt a while ago, every link I clicked on didnt work or crashed the internet. I just uninstalled everything BT and then re-installed. Worked since.

What are you connecting with?

i.e. Modem? Router? Wireless?

How, too - Ethernet, USB?
