And these have what to do with each other?

????

Best bet is go spend $10 for a card reader.

DSL and your internet connection are completely unrelated to moving
data from a digital camera to your PC. Are you using proprietary
software related to your camera? That's usually the problem. Things
work much better if you simply plug your camera in as an external disk
drive and use normal windows tools to copy the files. Or, even
better, a separate memory card reader.

You need to tell us what camera you sue, and what computer/OS. It seems
you need to also read the instruction manual. Pictures come into the
computer via another route separate from the DSL connection.

Hi...

Something a little fishy here - but just in case I'm wrong...

I, too, recommend a card reader, *if* the camera has a
removable card.

Otherwise he's going to have to tell us the make and model
of camera to get any useful help.

I sounds like he has an ancient model with serial interface, and doesn't
know where to plug it in. A card reader might be a good investment.

Are you trying to do this remotely? That is, are you in a different
geographical location than your computer? DSL is a way to connect to
the internet, so you'd need an internet capable camera. Most modern
cameras use USB between the computer and camera, never get internet
involved.

Most likely Windows (as opposed to a Mac OS or linux). But which
Windows OS only W H CIST knows. He's using Outlook Express, btw.
which I assume is not available on the Mac unless it's running
Windows emulating software.

The reason I ask is that if he's using XP he should be able to uninstall the
software that came with the camera and XP will find the camera or card
reader and automatically dump the photos into the My Pictures folder.
