I use 2 internet connections. My main broadband connection and I also use a dial up account as a backup. I have no problem getting this computer to connect with the dial up account. When I plug in my broadband ethernet cable Network Connections says that the 1394 Connection is connected but when I attempt to access the internet I can't get on. I have no problem getting other computers to connect with the broadband connection just this one. I usually just plug in the ethernet cable and I am connected....So I am not sure what's going on. Thanks in advance for your time and help.
