How do you change your internet settings so that your DSL connection is always on?

Should be on all the time already.

do you have one of thoes where you have to 'log in' each time?

Yeah, I have to log in every time I turn the computer on.

But I thought it was still possible to make it always on.

you can,

the way i know of and is my preference to do that, (i havnt done it in a while since my cable internet doent require i log in) involves going into the router/network hub settings, and setting up a PPPoE account on it (your login name/ password) and telling it to always connect, and then deleting all the software your ISP gave you to log in on your pc.

but if you cant do that then im sure theres other ways.

do you have a network hub? what kind if you do?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure what that is.

you got the DSL router that the dsl line goes into, (decodes the signal) and comes out as a network line.

that line would either plug directly into your computer, or go into a network hub where it would be shared with other computers in the house.

The phone line comes out of the wall and goes into a modem (I think that's what it is), then comes out as an ethernet cable, then that goes into this little box that has "netgear" written on it, then that goes into my computer.
