Help with Broadcomm Card
I am a new user and not a particularly technically competent one. I am using a Latitude D430 with Vista Business. For Broadband connections it has a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx controller. I am on the road in a hotel which has an ethernet broadband connection in my room. I am connecting to the internet through this ethernet connection. However, every time that I do something, e.g. go to a new URL, a box pops up labelled "Connect Broadband Connection" which asks for a user name and password and tries do dial a connection. I have to close it because it appears to stall the ethernet connection while it waits to dial. I don't understand why it doesn't recognize the ethernet connection. I can't find a way to disable it without disabling the card and then my ethernet connection doesn't work. Is there something I can do?? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
