You have probably been online for a week now, but just in case somebody else runs into this problem, you can use https://sbcreg.sbcglobal.net/ to pick a user name and password to "register" the DSL line. It will then attempt to install their software, at which point you bail out. That does not have to be done on the DSL line, but if that's the only connection you have and it's pppoe, you can use the temporary registration-only user name and password which is probably already in your modem: Username: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: sbcyahooreg After the line is registered go back and put in the username and password you chose.
