can ping dns server, and yahoo by name, BUT...

I cannot connect using IE6.

This is W98Gold. Had a meltdown, and had to reinstall my ATT dialer.
Wouldn't authorize, so AT tech supp worked me through all the dialer
issues. No joy. So uninstalled dialer, DUN etc, and reinstalled DUN
per knowledge base 181599. Tech supp got me to point where we
established a new DUN connection using ATT ids and dns servers, and I
could do the pings BUT IE6 won't connect.

What up? I remember a problem similar to this some yeas ago where,
after installing a McAfee VS version, it replaced a Windows file with
one of its own--and that is a posible complication, as I ahd just
installed VS 8 before this problem occurred.

TIA and regards,

Thanks for the info Scott.

You are running McAfee too?

I do remember something like that also. We could try taking off all the
McAfee stuff, but if it removed a file, then that's not going to help.

I'm going to the McAfee forums and see if they knoww anything. If I learn
something that works, I'll let you know.

In the meantime--

Is there Anyone out there that can help us?
