I will uninstall it tonight just to see what happens. I thought I disabled
it, maybe I didn't do it entirely. I don't know off the top of my head where
to configure it, but I'll play around to see if I can find it, otherwise,
I'll just uninstall to prove if that's the problem.

Thanks for your help. I'll post back tomorrow with results.

Don't bother with System Restore it is almost a dead certainty that your
problems are due to installing NIS. Have you configured NIS correctly so
as to allow IE to access the internet? Also, regrettably, Norton's flawed
software will probably have broken system restore.

May I be allowed to repeat that your problem is most unlikely to have
anything to do with Dial-Up Networking or your ISP and is local to your
PC.

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
