Ok.. I will try to be a bit more specific.... Im a MCSE so its just easy for me and when I explain things I guess I just expect peeps to know what im sayin...

Ok..
B4 you even get started on this it works with must dsl connections(cause most of them have static ip "changes every time you log on").. and very few cable connections since they are not static....

Every time you turn your system on the dsl/cable can or can not be logged on auto... usually when you install the service it selects it to have auto logon when the computer boots up.(just like when you install some programs and they automaticly put them selfs in the comp startup to load as soon as the computer is booted)..
Theres an opition in your isp config settings that you can change to make it not auto logon when the computer is booted(like the "msconfig" comand). Each isp has a diff way of telling the computer to do this, usually in the internet connections folder or you might actually have to change a command somewhere in the isp setting to change this...
The easiest way to figure this out id to actually call your isp and ask how to change it or if you know or think you know what your doing you can figure it out yourself...
After you change this you have to make a shortcut on your desktop or w/e you want it that you actually have to click on to log onto the internet just as if you had dialup..
This way you can connect and disconnect at will w/o have to restart or any of that garb...


I hope this is more helpfull then my post above and didnt make it even worse when all the writing..lol
