Dialup Internet
Well I have IE 6.02XXX with SP1 I guess thats IE 6.1. I get down to Add
components and I do not find but I see no OE offered. The ISP I am dealing with is JOIMAIL.COM which is owned by EARTHLINK and run by earthlink. I did install Netgear (WG111v2) on USB 2 wireless adapter on USB 1 port. I understand speed will be less but that OK. Even though I can connect with hub/modem and get a good signal..TCP or link level protocol appears to kept me from connecting to the outside world. Still not sure what the cause is. Gary S.

You probably already have it installed, but it may be outdated. To get the latest OE, install/reinstall Internet Explorer. IE 6.1 is the last version Win9x can use. Get it he http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...s/default.mspx Choose "Minimal or Custom" install option. Or, go to Add/Remove Programs and double-click the "Microsoft Internet Explorer (x.xx) and Internet Tools". Assuming it's a recent version that you have installed, choose Add Components. OE will be offered. If it's BOLD, then it's already installed. Still, I'd strongly recommend upgrading to IE6.1 if you aren't already there. Note that OE is *not* Microsoft Outlook, which is an entirely different program that's part of MS Office suites. Once you have OE installed, or have located the already installed program, you'll need to refer to your ISP's help pages to get the proper configuration information. If you have any problems, please include the name of your ISP in future posts. |
