Sounds like a DNS problem? If you are sure you are connecting, then it would appear that it can't resolve names. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ On 12/14/2002 at 10:55 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as Jo Ann Weaver was rumoured to have uttered.... | I have set up an older computer for a friend[166 | cpu, 96 megs RAM,running WinME] I got him started with an ISP. | His computer is connecting and holding at 48000 bps, but it | won't load any web pages. Have been on the phone with his ISP | half a dozen times, tried everything they suggested, still no | go. You just get an IE message saying page cannot be | displayed. Can't do IE repair because it isn't listed in add | remove programs[unless someone knows another way?] I | downloaded the IE setup file, put it on a floppy and took it | to his computer. It wouldn't work, said it couldn't find the | download sites. I checked the internet security settings and | lowered them, no good. I burned Opera to a CD. When I was | installing it, it did have an error with the Java part. It | wouldn't load a page either. Anybody have any other ideas | Please? Is there a way I could Find the IE files on my | computer and burn them to CD and install on his machine? I've | about run out of ideas. | Jo Ann ********* And So It Was *********** **************************************************************************** ******* All the preceding is solely my own opinion not necessarily held by any other person in any other place at any other time.
