VISTA 64 bit software support
OCTOBER1955
Newbie

My good ol computers hard drive crashed. It was using Windows XP. I already replaced the motherboard, so I decideded it time for a new computer. I now have a HP with VISTA 64 bit operating system. Problem is, I am with Earthlink and their software does not support 64 bit. Even though I have had very little problems with the DSL becoming slow or droping out, as I am hearing from these threads on this forem.

 Can Verizion support the 64 bit computers?

Verizon for home users either uses:

#1 DHCP

#2 OR PPPoE.

Either way, you do not the verizon software to get online.

**

If you are not behind a router, you are running Windows Vista, and your connection type in PPPoE...

See as need be: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/f573e922-3dde-baac-69ef-a115548a83411033.mspx

**

Before doing anything else..

#1 What is the brand and model of your modem?

#2 Do you have any router (If so, what one do you have)?

#3 Do you use DHCP or PPPoE?

If you don't know the answer to the last one..

Here is a hint. Which is a quick quote from [url=http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1252]DSLR All FAQs » Verizon Online DSL FAQ » 7. Setup »
Verizon GTE Setup [/url]

* GTE areas of Verizon do not need PPPoe (WinPoet/Raspppoe) for their setup. This is only needed by the old BellAtlantic customers. *
