Since installing my new modem supplied by my service provider, when my computer restarts there are two active internet connections even though I only have one network adapter. (note: I am not connected wirelessly although my modem/router does support this) The two connections conflict and do not allow me to access the internet. If I click on the merge and delete option for either one of these connections, only one connection is showing in the connections list (lets call it connection A) and it cannot be deleted because it is "in use." If I disable one connection they both become inactive and disappear from the Windows Vista network and Sharing centre. If I then enable my network adapter only connection A restores itself and I am able to access the internet. I have to do this every time I restart my computer.

I also tried uninstalling my network adapter through Device Manager. Vista uninstalls the adapter, then automatically detects "new" hardware and reinstalls it. Once it's reinstalled only conneciton A is active, but again, if i restart my machine I'm back to having two conflicting connections.

Any advice would be helpful.
