SYMPTOMS
========
You have an MSN Companion device that has been upgraded to Version 2.0, and your
attempts to connect via Broadband are unsuccessful.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve the issue
1. Make sure that the USB to Ethernet Adaptor that you are using is one that is
supported. See
Q301477 Broadband-Supported USB-Ethernet Adaptors
.
2. Check the settings in the Connection Status box. Note that if "network
adaptor connected" is set to "No" then all of the items will be populated
with "No".
To resolve this issue, check your network adaptor and make sure that it is
connected properly to the USB Ports on the device.
3. If "DHCP or Static IP detected" is set to "No", click the "my broadband
connection requires more specific settings" link. The "broadband settings"
page opens.
Note:
- If clicking the "Obtain an IP Address automatically (recommended)" link
fails to populate the boxes, contact your ISP directly for more
information.
- If you are using a home network, you should be able to determine what
needs to be provided in order to get the device to function properly.
Note: MSN Technical Support does not provide assistance in configuring
home networks for customers.
