138727	2003-04-25 02:12:00	Today, I booted XP and logged into my account to go onto the internet. I doubleclick on the connection icon on my desktop, and the PC doesn't do anything. I try to go into the Network Connections folder - nothing happens. I know that it must be the PC because I was browsing the Internet fine on that account yesterday. I try another account, same result. Could it have been that I updated all my virus scanner definitions and my Norton Internet Security yesterday? Or could it be related to the message that I got onscreen from a site that was claiming 'my PC is unprotected'? (The message came through from the Message Service that is used by admins on XP and Win2k to send messages through on a network). I really need to get XP going on the Internet. I am currently using Win98 on the same PC (dual boot config) and can use the Internet fine on that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wintertide	wintertide (1306)

If that option is grayed out, that probably means your modem is not installed properly. In which case ..u might want to remove it inside control panel => system => device manager and then reinstall it. If all goes well... you should be able to install ur dialup connection again after u reinstalled ur modem. I haven't used dial-up in a while, so I can't be sure if all the steps provided is correct ... but anyway ..I hope if gives u some clues! Good Luck!!	Kenshin (2501)
