Broadband Connection

Hi, I just got my new computer running and need help hooking up my DSL setup. I have the CAT5 cable hooked up but need to know if there is any install disks I need to activate it or what. My connection does get recognized but when I open Explorer nothing. Ive tryed to setup a connection but didn't work. If any of you know the process to get this running, pleaes let me know.

Edit : Just noticed there was an Internet section, therefor I put a duplicate thread there.

Ok when I goto the network connections folder, it says my connection is active and is firewalled and running at 400 mbps. Then I right click the connection and click repair. It then says Windows failed to fix connection problem because of following problem. Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connect. Contact the person who manages your connection. So what do you think the problem could be.

turn everything off for 5 min. turn everything back on, cable modem first. disable your firewall. see what happens

try different browser. also in internet connection properties, delete your old phone account and set it for a broadband one that is always on
