Dany,

I don't have a broadband connection (I'm on dial-up) so I'm not going to 
be the best person to continue here. Aren't the instructions in the 
manual sufficient?

If you tell us which modem, confirm its a broadband connection (ADSL, 
DSL etc) then tell us what you have configured in the internet 
configuration wizard (omit passwords) then we should have enough to 
help. Unfortuanately, saying nothing happens does not give us enough to 
go on.

Regards

Chris
