I reformatted my parents computer yesturday and installed the dsl software back on it. Ever since when I click a link that is supposed to pop another window up...it doesn't. Why?

I defaulted the IE options, so it won't be there. I don't understand why it won't pop up new windows. It won't even when I right click and drag to "Open link in new Window".

I'm guessing your DSL software is the latest versions.... a lot of those things have popup killers which prevent you from having more than one internet browser window open at any given time .... why are u using DSL sfotware? Get yourself a nice router and let the router do all the logging on... that way ur system need not log on ... online 24/7 and seemless web connection.

I have a router actually, but I couldn't get it to work right cause I don't know what Im doing so it isn't hooked up.

Im pretty positive that you are right about the dsl software doing it. Cause i don't get any pop ups at all. Do you know how I could disable this?

uh.. it's usually a 3rd party app u can uninstall.... if it is built in, u gotta uninstall it all and run ur thing through a router.. which is REALLY easy to configure assuming u got a router and NOT a jub. But then again.. this requires that u have an external DSL modem, not an internal, that is ethernet based, not USB based .... if urs is not ethernet based... i'm not exactly how to work it... but for ethernet:

plug modem to phone line, modem ethernet line to WAN port of router. Plug in computers. Look through youir router manual for the IP# of it and load up internet explorer and load up the IP # as http://ip.number.here

This will access the router's internal software to configure ... enter your username, password, network type (usually PPPoE), and start configuring other settings like MAC Address controls, static IP's for each sytem on ur network and such.

I would recommend the SMC barricade, part #750.5312... the barricades have the same name, diff part number... so yeah... u might get the gey one by accident.
