I have recently installed windows XP on my computer and my satellite internet DirecPC has ceased to work. Anyone got any ideas? thanks

Have you checked to see if the firewall is enabled?

Did it ever work after the XP was installed?

it has never worked after i installed XP, and yes i have a firewall enabled but navigator (direc pc) has access to the internet, this is the error i get

The TCP/IP protocol is not bound to the satellite receiver adapter. Please reinstall the software and re-run the AutoSetup utility to correct this problem.

i have tries to run the Autosetup but everytime it says the service is unavailable at this time, please try again later. and believe me i have tried "later". :mad:

Rt click on My network places and in the local area connection, rt click and choose prperties. List everything that's there.

Autosetups for adaptors can be a pain - follow the above advice and list everything that is in the local area connections.
Binding a protocol is easy enough to do manually - so let us know what's there, and we'll tlak you through it.

How about disable your firewall and your ICF and see if you can connect.

connect using:
satellite Receiver USB Device

This connection uses the following items:
-Client for microsoft networks
-QoS Packet Scheduler
-File and printer sharing for microsoft networks
-Internet protocol (TCP/IP)
