| 226179 | 2004-03-31 03:43:00 | Using windows XP I can connect to internet through the Network Connections -but cannot receive email or view any pages in IE6.( I can send email - occasionally) All setting appear to be OK. Have tried another phone connection with this computer & have the same problem. Tried another computer using the same ISP & phone line & settings, all OK! Anyone help please as I am loosing all my hair over this one!!!? |

| 226180 | 2004-03-31 03:53:00 | Do you have a firewall or an antivirus program with a firewall as part of it. Check this first. In Internet Explorer go to Tools\Internet Options On the Connections tab select your ISP connection and press "Set Default" make sure the "Always Dial My Default Connection" is selected. then press "Apply" and OK |

| 226181 | 2004-03-31 04:01:00 | Thanks Jim B - but I have tried all those options (incl. uninstalling anti virus & firewall) - still no joy..... | fnphoto (2434) | ||
| 226182 | 2004-03-31 04:17:00 | What firewall do you have. It can still be a firewall problem even if you have uninstalled it. |

| 226183 | 2004-03-31 04:21:00 | Was only using XP firewall, which was good enough for my use. I know there are are far better ones out there ....but ...$$$ etc | fnphoto (2434) | ||
| 226184 | 2004-03-31 04:27:00 | XP firewall would not cause this problem It could be spyware, in particular one called new.net If anyone has done any music downloading then this is a real possibility. Check in Add/Remove programs for new.net and remove it if it is there. It does not always show here so if it doesn't you could still have it. If you have Spybot give that a run. |

| 226186 | 2004-03-31 05:17:00 | I have run Spybot- Seach & Destroy and Lavasoft Ad Aware as I initially thought that could be the prob. I will try the reset of TCP/IP tomorrow when I next have access to the machine. Thanks very much for your help & time Jim. |

| 226188 | 2004-03-31 19:38:00 | Have you tried a repair gotto control panel uninstall application applet, select internet explorer, select modify, then a another box will appear, select repair and ok. Also check ie updates also try running sfc the "run" area, you will need your install disk for this and several cups of coffee |
