All worked normally in my previous ISP internet (LAN, broadband

I used this win98 box near five years in office and never had any

ISP engineer can no solve problem still. First visit engineer has
connected
modem and removed my previous connection settings,
and just set few settings in 'Network' manually. This not help. (he
dont
used "Create a new connection" wizard). He tried ping - ping is OK.
Next
visit engineer replace two cable splitters, that split incoming
singnal
between twoTVs and PC with better ones. This not help also. Third
visit
engineer again replace splitter and suggested me replace my win 98
with
winXP, then "all should work".
I found that I can send and receive mail via my Outlook and Outlook
Express
previous mail configuration.
(account was configured for LAN connection, via free pop3 server).
But
no
any web pages loads.
Where is problem and how to configure network settings? ISP have no
ideas.


thanks

go to internet explorer, click tools, internet options, connections
then unselect connect directly over lan and choose your cable
connection in the box above, click apply, close ie, click
start,run,type command ,enter then in thedos window type ipconfig
/release_all then try open ie.

Flamer.

I checked this: there are no "cable connection" in Internet Explorer
Options 'Connections' menu: there is 'Dial-up settings' -all boxes
inactive, and 'LAN settings' button, which have(in LAN settings tab)
"Automatically detect settings" checked, and 'Use a proxy server' box
is
unchecked. I have no LAN in my home. But there are *no* other
selections
in
Internet Explorer 'Connections' tab. Also, I find no any directions
or
notes to this broadband cable modem in my PC(at least, i find no it).

uncheck the "Automatically detect settings" and give it a try



I tried - not help. Just show message in status bar, with correct IP:
'Connecting to site: IP .. ..", or 'Opening page http://www.domain.com/
(if
i type url in browser window) But no page loads.



go to IE optionsconnections at the bottom there is a "LAN setup?" (don't
have a win98 in front of me at the moment)

step thru the LAN setup again and tell it how you connect (select "local
gateway")

There are no "LAN setup" option on windows-98 in IE. There are 'LAN
settings' button, with 2 options only: "Automatically detect settings" or
not, and 'Use a proxy server' or not. If you meant use Internet Connection
Wizard to "Create a new connection"(button at the top of 'connections' tab,
called 'setup', then I tried it - this not help.

my bad : yes , I was thinking of the "setup" that runs you thru the wizard
again ...

no go ? and all boxes in setup are unchecked ?

does the version of IE you are using have a "repair" option (in add/remove
progs) ?

is it setup to "obtain DNS server automatically" under TCP/IP configuration
in control panelnetwork ? (same for IP?)

sounds like like IE is messed up ...

there 'should' be a repair function for IE5.5 as per

have you tried another browser like Firefox to confirm it is an IE problem ?
