CSG

Can any tech-inclined person help me with this problem?

OK, I have at&t dsl.

In the past, I had SBCYahoo! and all I had to do was click on the IE icon and Im online.

NOW, with att I have to:

1. right click on the 2 pcs icon (located on the bottom right of the taskbar - right next to the volume icon, near the time)

2. then I scroll up to "connect to a network"

3. a connect to a network window pops up and I click on Broadband connection - PPPoE connection

4. then the actual log in box comes up (it says connect broadband connection on top), I've saved my username and password or else it would be an even longer process...

5. finally, I click connect...

6. after a few seconds, It says successfully connected to broadband connection

seriously, I just want to click the "blue e" or Firefox icon. Isnt DSL supposed to be always on?

Once, I had a wireless network installed, is this the problem even though the router isn't connected now?

How can I stay connected without having to do this each time?

I live in California, where we cant have any aftermarket tint on the front windows period. I put tint on anyway. I was ticketed and have a "correctable" ticket. I have to remove the tint, get the ticket signed off and everything is ok.

HOWEVER, the tint job was pricey and Im wondering what will happen if I dont get the tint removed. Can I just pay a fine? Will I be given a deadline or fines until I remove the tint?

Im not saying I dont deserve the ticket, I knew the risks. I am saying I really dont want to remove it unless I absolutely have to as a last resort.
