Not sure exactly where to post this but here I go:

Hello there, I have a problem and was wondering if any kind soul out there would help me resolve it.

Right, I'm on an NTL 2mb connection. It was working fine up until a few weeks ago when I turned it on and couldn't connect to the Internet. I tried the usual, turn the computer off, take out the power lead for a while, put back in, restart etc. but it still wouldn't work. So I took out the power lead of the modem several times when Local Area Connection 2 appeared and started working.

Now, I've figured out that when I turn the computer on it automatically connects to Local Area Connection 10, which doesn't work. The Downstream and Upstream buttons don't seem to flash on occasions when it's connected to this connecton, however 'Ready', 'USB' and 'Sync' are fine. It takes me sometimes 20 times of reconnecting the power lead before I can connect to Local Area Connection 2, and this is very frustrating.

I've been putting the Computer in Hibernate mode recently to maintain my connection but i need to install some updates and I know the internet won't be working the next time I log on.

Any help appreciated.
