Can't connect to server
I am trying to access my ISP with a second PC that is
running ME. I am using a dial=up connection. I have followed the ISP instruction to configure the dial-up as well as setting up the account in Outlook. The dial-up will connect to the ISP. However, if I try to access a web page with Internet Explore or Open the e-mail account in Outlook I get an error, "Can't find server". I spent an hour (not on hold) with tech support from the ISP and they said it must be a windows problem. Does anyone know what might be wrong? |

Can't connect to server
I'm assuming here that you are running two PC's as a local network.
How have you set the network up? Have you installed ICS properly? What OS is the host PC? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Bill" wrote in message ...

Can't connect to server
No I am just trying to dial into the ISP using a seperate
PC and while switching the phone line. What I am really tring to do is setup the second PC so that I can relocate it to dailing from a different location. I call in and get the ISP to verify and acceptthe user and password but then when I go to activate Outlook or Internet Explore I get "can't find server error. -----Original Message----- I'm assuming here that you are running two PC's as a local network.
