Is there something wrong with my DSL?

Whenever I look at the status of my DSL connection in the control panel, it's status is "Limited or No Connectivity" which makes me think that I didn't install it properly. How fast is a DSL connection supposed to be? Mine doesn't download stuff faster than 25KB/s...

What is the ISP, and what hardware are you using (modem, router, wired,wireless etc.)?

If you are using a standard DSL bridge modem with a software connection manager, that's normal. The IP assignments are handled by the PPP adapter, not the nic. The nic is only a passthrough to the software PPP adapter.
