Internet access on LAN exclusively but not DSL or cable

[dhanley]

I have an interesting issue.

When I add a laptop to my domain, I can access the Internet with no issues. On the other hand, when I take the same box and connect it to a DSL or cable connection, I cannot browse the web.

Finally, when I disjoin the computer from the domain, I can access the Internet from a DSL or cable connection.

These machines are new HP nx9010 notebooks with Windows XP and the lastest updates and service packs. It almost appears to be a security setting.

By the way, the built-in firewall is turned off.

If its XP you might need to create a new connection with the wizard in network connections(?) I'm guessing. Need more info.

Some DSL connections need a user name & password to connect and some are "always on", allowing you to surf when you plug the RJ45 in...

Thanks, XPisfree. Interestingly, this connection may need a password. I'll give that a whirl. Thanks.
