browser won't access internet, help?!
Hi
Got a question am hoping that someone out there can help me with. Here goes, I have a machine which is running windows 98SE recently it has developed a small problem. When you use the dial up networking to go online the modem grabs it and it works however when you open the browser it can't locate the net. You get no page available and it doesn't matter what website you go to. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance S |

This ng is more geared toward video display, a more appropriate ng would be:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser Right click the IE icon on the desktop and click Properties. Under the General tab what shows as your Home Page? Are you using a firewall? If yes, have you blocked anything lately? Have you checked your internet dialup settings? -- Brian A. Conflicts start where information lacks. http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Sherry A.

Thanks in advance S So far we have tried: making a new connection under dial up networking ( no luck), right click on internet explorer and checked all options, has no firewall installed. Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup. I will try the one recommended but am stuck as far as ideas so if anyone has anything to add please reply. Thanks in advance S |

You could try reinstalling IE over the top.
If you still have problems, download/run HijackThis from: http://majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html Do not remove anything with it until you get advice on what to remove, HJThis will list many apps that are needed along with the bad ones. Removing items listed hap-hazardly without knowing what they are can/will create a royal mess. Read the quick start here on how to create a log file that can be copied/pasted into a forum that can provide assistance on removal of unwanted pests. http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/#quick Then post the logs to an appropriate NG here where they specialize in spyware/hijacker removal: http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ http://forum.aumha.org/ -- Brian A.
