I have just added an old IBM Notebook to my system. It is connected to my
router. The LAN is fine - I can access the other computers and they can access the notebook. I have downloaded from another computer to the IBM so access is working inwards. I cannot get IE up. It insists that I have to have a modem and I am stuck. This is especially annoying in that I had this thing working perfectly last year. Help please.

Many thanks Ron.
I had forgotten. The "never dial a connection" is greyed out, however all problems resolved once I worked through the Connections tab. I am a bit out of date on some matters. Having got this old notebook now working on a wired or WIFI basis I find Windows Update always fails. Is this because support has ceased for W98SE. Again, Thanks. "Ron Martell" wrote in message ...

Sorry for delay.
Problem resolved: I think I must have had finger trouble. Many thanks for your interest. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ... In what way does WU fail? What happens? -- Gary S.
