IC = Internet Content Provider

Yours is a customized version of IE6-SP1 which apparently disabled the
ability to use Setup an Internet Connection in referenced tab. Did you get
IE6-SP1 from your ISP (download or on a CD)? Who is your ISP? Are you
having a problem with your connection? How do you connect, dial-up, cable,
DSL or satellite?

My ISP is Comcast Cable/ I am having no problems however,
when cable goes down I want to use dialup as a backup. I
had this feature fine until I had downloaded a security
upgrade directly from Microsoft's website. I had to reload
my cable software as the security download somehow
disabled it. Ever since I have had the feature greyed out.
Any recourse to your knowledge?

Are you Frank, the Original Poster in this thread?

Is Dial-Up Networking still installed on the machine? Your customized
version of IE may have disabled or removed TCP/IP. See this KB article for
info about this and mo
