Default Dial up networking

I have not tried system restore. I'm sure I can figure it out, but how do I
go about that?

I did just install Norton Internet Security and did a LiveUpdate. I don't
recall exactly, but I think that was when the problem began. I did try to
disable it, but it still was not finding the server. Even if the security
settings are blocking me, it shouldn't be blocking itself to LiveUpdate
again, which is now not working either. I guess I could try to uninstall
that, but I was trying to avoid that because the LiveUpdate takes me forever
to download the 21 MB. Tech Support ran through all the DNS numbers and what
not. Everything appears fine for the ISP settings. Thanks

Jason,

Dial-Up Networking is quite correct when reporting as 0.0MB in Windows
Setup | Communications as no additional files are installed simply various
registry entries updated. Your problem probably has little or nothing to
do with DUN or your net connection but instead appears to be a problem
with your installation of Internet Explorer. Have you tried using system
restore to roll your system back to a checkpoint created before your
problems began? In addition what changes were made to your system around
the time this problem started?

I can connect using my modem, but I'm getting nothing in IE, nor
Outlook. After talking with my ISP tech support, we found that the
Dial Up Networking is 0.00 MB in the Windows Setup in Add/Remove
Programs. I unchecked the box to uninstall, rebooted, reinstalled
(re-checked), rebooted and it is still not working. The tech support
has seen this happen on ME machines before for no apparent reason.
She said the unchecking and rechecking of the install does not
usually work. She suggested taking it to a shop to get fixed.

Has anyone seen this happen? How can I fix? Why did it lose the dial
up networking?

Thanks in advance
