Dear Sir,

Iam having windows xp 2 version on my PC. After starting my PC a signal comes at the bottom of the screen that "status: limited or no connectivty". But still i could browse the sites after logging in to my ISP.

Please letme know if this problem can be sorted, since it is annoying to see this message every time i start my PC.

Thanks & best regards

Dear Sir,

After switching on the PC, whwn i switch on the external modem supply i get the message " Limited or no connectivity". Then i will open broadband connection (PPPoe) and enter my login id and password provided by my ISP and the message will come that broadband is connected.

Only the irritation is that the display of message that " limited or no connectivity"

Regards

This will be normal behaviour for that sort of connection, the computer wants an IP as soon as you fire it up but because you have to log in before one is given the message appears as it does.

Assuming XP, go into Control Panel -> Network Connections. Right-click your Local Area Network icon -> Properties. There should be a tick box along the lines of "inform me if limited or no connectivity" or something to that effect. Uncheck it and press OK.
