Can not connect to Road Runner w/True Mobile

Did you try to use the “Internet connection wizard”? I’m don’t know if it’s the same for WinXP but, Right click the Internet Explorer icon on the “Desktop” and select Properties/ Connection tab/ Setup/ and choose “ I want to setup my Internet connection manually, or I want to connect through a local area network”/ click “ Next” and follow the prompts.

DNS problems? ( ”click here”)

I’m assuming that you’ve already configured the NIC correctly in “Network Properties”, since you have the docking station working.

Are you using a personal firewall (i.e.- ZoneAlarm)?

I also found this a while ago from an outside forum.

First, powercycle your modem. Then if you go to my network places, and right click on "My lan connection" there is an option to repair. Do so. What this function does, is that it replaces the winsock files with the original source (kind of like `ol SFC, but just for your winsock files). It also releases and renews your IP. Now if you get an error it means 2 things:
a) You are experiencing a DHCP server error, and need to contact your ISP.
b) You've turned on your XP Firewall. turn it off, and try again.
That's it!! Alternatively, you can powercycle your modem, and reboot. When XP boots, it reinitializes your winsock files! So once you reboot, and you've turned of the XP firewall, and you still can't surf, call your ISP's tech support.



You can also post in the Dimension Network forum. There’s some very knowledgeable users that frequent that that forum.

I wish I could help you with your problem, but I'm having a similar problem. I have roadrunner and can't seem to get my residential gateway to work. I'm getting a signal from both the desktop and the laptop. I have the ethernet cable plugged into the cable modem and the gateway. Someone told me I may need a RJ-47 cable? I know I must have it connected incorrectly. I can't get internet explorer to open up a homepage.
The Gateway activity light is blinking, but no connection.
I'm beginning to get frustrated with this.
I've had nothing but problems with it.
Help!!

i think i may have the same problem as you do. it shows its connected in the network connections but i can't get the start pages, or anyother pages to open. I have no clue what this problem is.
