216330 2004-02-17 22:56:00 For some reason when I open IE6 now it does not connect to the internet automatically. I get a screen that says I am not connected and I can either "work offline" or "try again". However the try again button doesn't connect me.

Help! What setting have I changed to stuff this up?

Regards

216331 2004-02-17 23:23:00 Tools --> Internet Options --> Connections --> Always Dial My Default Connection.

Select this option, click OK, close IE and try again.

Also try searching the forum, this same problem has been answered about 4 times in the last day or two.

216332 2004-02-17 23:26:00 two things to try...........after you 'open' explorer and it gives you a blank page.........clik the menu item at the top left of the page 'file' then go down the list and make sure 'work off line' is UNticked

then goto control panel /internet options and double clik it ......then goto the connections tab and make sure that your connection is 'set as default' and make suer there is a little dot in the box saying 'always dial my default connection' if that dot's not there then put it there.......then doint forget to clik 'apply and ok'

216333 2004-02-18 00:53:00 If you have Google search bar...remove it. Seems maybe an IE update causes can cause a conflict/problem with the bar. Haven't tried a re-install to see if it still has a problem either. Pheonix (280)
216334 2004-02-18 21:39:00 Thanks for the help. I removed the Google search bar and that worked. I've now reinstalled the search bar and everything still works. maybe its a Google setting.
