| 174966 | 2003-09-13 12:40:00 | You may want to get the two removal tools from http://www.rescueman.tk, one's for the MS.Blaster, and the other for the Welchia Worm I believe its called, which also uses the same hole. Try hitting Ctrl + Shift + Esc and let us know what is in the Process tab too. Can you get to ANY websites at all? If you double-click on the connection Icon in your system tray once you're connected, does the 'bytes sent' go up a lot in comparison to bytes received? Cheers Chill. |

| 174967 | 2003-09-14 03:15:00 | Hi, thanks for your reply. Ctrl + Shift +Esc. = Inbox - Outlook Express provided by NetGuide... Running. There are 24 items in Process I can't get onto the website you gave me it keeps coming back with website not found, please check your spelling. No I can't get any websites at all, and when clicking on connection icon, the bytes sent are miles ahead. cheers and thanks |

| 174968 | 2003-09-14 03:49:00 | Make a new "connection". Read (and print) the instructions from your ISP so you can fiollow them exactly. You have got some setting in that wrong ... DNS address, or have a "proxy" selected when you shouldn't have (or no proxy selcted when you should have. :D) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 174969 | 2003-09-14 04:36:00 | I have done that | Singerf (3385) | ||
| 174970 | 2003-09-14 04:40:00 | Try disabling your firewall, if you can't get Internet Traffic or Yahoo messenger or anything this is the most likely cause. Download and run SpyBot (http://security.kolla.de) to remove any spyware etc that may be hindering the connection. Go to Internet Explorer and select Tools --> Options --> Connections --> Click LAN Settings and make sure there are no options ticked here, then also select your Dial-Up Connection on this page, click settings and make sure none of the proxy sections are ticked. |

| 174972 | 2003-09-17 04:30:00 | Thanks for that site, but i have WIN2000 PRO | Singerf (3385) | ||
| 174973 | 2003-09-17 08:44:00 | Is the computer ONLY sluggish on the internet? Click on your connection to bring up details and watch Bytes Sent. Is it winding on without you doing anything? | Rod ger (316) | ||
