Karen, If you are attempting to use his INTERNET account with the cable company then you are at his mercy. There is nothing to prevent you from getting your own INTERNET account with the cable company. You own the cable modem etc. As for software, there was none REQUIRED formy cable modem. I use a router and do NOT have any cable company software installed on any of my systems. I did have to call the cable company and read them the sn / NIC numbers from the modem which they then assigned to my account. The software is NOT (TTBOMK) a requirement, it is a method of connecting a computer to the network. John W.

There is a password screen. He will not give me the password. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John W.

Just hook your PC up to the cable modem and go. Or better, hook a router up to the cable modem and then hook all your pcs up to that. Buy a domain name for $15 / year (less if you get several years at a time). Then get a web site ($7 / month or so for the cheapies). That gives you X email addresses - kNicholson at NicholsonConsulting.com. You can usually set up FTP to / from your site for sending big stuff to clients. Definitely worth the small expense. I have owned ColbyConsulting.com for many years now and my email never changes (with proper precautions to prevent spam of course). John W.

This is what the #1 in resources woman has been able to do. My problem was when I put in the Adelphia CD to hook up through the cable modem, I needed a password to activate the connection. What I didn't realize is that I don't have to use the username and password that is coming in on that connection. Solution: Found a person willing to give me his name and password. Then set up a new account, as Adelphia allows 7 addresses. Hahahah!!! Always a way. Gives me something to do in my spare time. :) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of DWUTKA at marlow.com Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 11:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT - Internet Access They do have satellite internet.

I am trying to work using dial-up and it is impossible as one can imagine. The person holding the account will not give me the password to set up the cable connection, nor can I add the phone feature? Great roomates, huh?
