When I go to setup an internet connection manually, the option for a "broadband connection requiring a username and password" is greyed out. I just reloaded Windows XP from scratch - did the complete hard drive format. Also, using a Speedstream 5260 ADSL modem.
In order to connect to internet you require a username and password
that user name and password will be given to you durin first time installation if you dont remember the username and password call up your broad band help desk. they will help with the user name and password.
