Hi all,

I use a Windows XP Home Edition. A few days ago some problems with my
installation ocurred. I cannot setup a connection to Internet. The standard
procedure using "A new connection creator" doesn't work. What I do:
1. Start the "Control panel" ane then choose the "Net connections"
2. Choose "Create a new connection"
3. Connect to Internet
4. Configure my connection handly

And then 2 first options ("Connect using modem" and "Connect using
broadband.. ") are not active. A simple reinstallation with actualisation
option is not sufficient. What to do to avoid a complete new Wind XP
installation?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Jerzy,
Here is an article that describes how to get rid of the problem you are
facing:
Dial-up modem or PPPoE option in New Connection Wizard is unavailable
