Hi,
I am trying to help my neighbour who was connected to bb on Wednesday. When the engineers installed the modem, no installation disc was left, and although i have tried following the advice of this thread, i am still unable to get connected. My neighbour has been connected to bb by sacm (does bluetooth sound right?) on the 1mb service. XP SP2. So i followed the instructions above in 'Stuartbe's' post, Start-run In box typed command.com then enter. In black box typed 'ipconfig /all'

Found ethernet adaptor onlist and then 'ip address' 192.168.0.1. - This is as far as i can get.

So i called the CS and spoke to a person who said that i should have been left a disc, as some 'drivers' were missing and i would'nt be able to register until i received a disc - this i was told will be in about 10 days.

So i was wondering if its possible to get connected without having to wait for the disc. I am afraid that i am not very pc minded (my neighbour even less) - talk about the blind leading the blind!

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanx

Staffie.
