New Modem

[martymas]

hi team recently i installed a new modem.

which happened to be linux compatable.

when i installed it windows wanted me have it verified .by microsoft i didnt want this as i intend to duel boot with linux.

well it wouldnt let me on line i spent hours and hours trying to get on line and it was saying wrong user name and password.which ive used for years .

well i hunted for reasons until i went to, internet options -connections- settings networking-propertys

and for curiosity i checked .client for microsoft.

and i was on at once .

does this make you think who is controling who.

has any one else had this happen to them.

in determined not to let microsoft control my modem.all that time and all i had to do was check a box

p----es me off

uhnfortunately M$ controls the computer market. they figure if they make the main OS used worldwide, then they will mkae sure everythign is compatible to them and them only. Hopefully Linux will start getting a larger share of the market as people see that M$ programs have serious security holes.

Granted if it wasn't for those security holes the forums like this wouldn't be as busy as they are. but still we are hoping.
