| 185119 | 2003-10-20 09:06:00 | Mailwasher, IE etc all connect when opened but Opera will not. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and cant find the internet options in opera, where are they or is something else wrong? When I open opera I get a message saying "network problem" and the address of my homepage but no connection. If I establish a connection via mailwasher first, then open opera it connects no problems. | Danger (287) | ||
| 185120 | 2003-10-20 09:08:00 | Are you using a firewall if so which one | beama (111) | ||
| 185121 | 2003-10-20 09:12:00 | Not firewall, still same problem with firewall turned off, just checked. | Danger (287) | ||
| 185122 | 2003-10-20 09:40:00 | Maybe change from home page. Go to file/preferences/start exit/ and set "Start with no pages". Should open and wait for you to pick up a bookmark or something. | TonyF (246) | ||
| 185123 | 2003-10-20 09:43:00 | Also go to file/preferences/default option/ and make Opera check as default. T |

| 185126 | 2003-10-21 08:12:00 | Yes, my modem will not dial up and connect when I open Opera, is that usual? I usually open up with Mailwasher, no problems there, I just thought Opera should connect when opened. Its now been uninstalled because all the interface went black and horrible, a shame cos it does seem faster than IE. | Danger (287) | ||

| 185128 | 2003-10-21 09:29:00 | As far as I know Opera does not connect you to the internet like IE does but to me that is a good thing. Personally I like to connect from my QuickLaunch shortcut before opening any browsers or my email client, but each to their own. It would be a shame if that put you off using Opera as it is a nice browser. Not sure about the black page problem though - maybe you could try installing it again or re-downloading? Have you tried Firebird at all? That is my current favourite, in case you hadn't noticed. :p :D |
