"My ADSL Connection (Pipex Users Please Read)...."

I have my ADSL Modem installe, which I got from SR, the internal one. Now the problem is that Pipex tell me I'm to set up my account for ADSL with them like I would a dial-up one, going to 'My Computer' and 'Dial-Up Networking', and dding a new connection, with me selecting the ADSL from the modem from the list and entering the phone number just as 1111 1111111. Thing is the ADSL modem doesn't show up in this list, and Windows doesn't like the files included on the ADSL Modem CD, so won't let me install it as a modem.

But the software which came with the modem is confusin, it's a little like the current thing in the bottom-right of your computer with the two compter screens blinking at you when your on-line and double clicking that opens a dialog with transfer details ... the one with the ADSL modem is similer. It will automaticly try connecting to the ADSL Service, and will tell me a connectiong has been made after about 50 seconds, then jump back to 'connecting...', which is better than what it said before, so I'm guessing BT are Upgrading/Have Upgraded the exchange now :o).

So, my question is, does anyone know how I am to use my ADSL Service through pipex now???

(1) Do you have a microfilter on your telephone line?
(2) Have you checked for updated drivers for the modem?

If yes and yes, then there are two pipex nesgroups that might be of some help: pipex.xtreme.discussion and pipex.xtreme.support.

Good luck!
