| 74926 | 2002-08-31 09:56:00 | The most logical reason would be that your ISP or your connection had an outage. You could access a site from bookmarks 'cos it's cached no? |

| 74928 | 2002-08-31 10:45:00 | Not likely to be ISP problems as he was getting email OK It is very common with complaints of not being able to get web sites to find "never dial a connection" selected in Tools/Internet options/Connections I think Windows updates or something else must set it back to the default setting of Never dial a connection. |

| 74929 | 2002-08-31 12:29:00 | could be a prob with the http server he is connecting to, but then i only know enough about that to know the difference between an http server, and a mail server. lol, maybe not, otherwise half the country would be having probs, hmmm, must be on your end, the reason you can view one page i would say is because although it isnt set for offline vieiwng, the page is still cahced, so u can still view it, but thats as far as i can think at the moment grtz sal. nz |

You're missing the whole point. JohnBoy said he never touched anything and the problem fixed itself after a couple of hours. Windows never fixes itself (sorry to disappoint you). The reason why emails and no net: could be various but likely to be a glitch at the ISP end - proxy servers,http protocols, DNS servers etc have nothing to do with e-mail, which runs on a 'separate circuit'. I was getting, with my previous ISP, at the end before I terminated, slow overseas content and no local. Go figure. Why only one favourites would load? Probably the only one left in the cache (this is on your hard drive JohnBoy) and the others had expired therefore deleted from cache. But then again I could be full of it and all my quals are heiffer dust... SiK |

My setting has been "never dial a connection" for as long as I've been on the internet (4+ years) and as far as I know has never caused problems such as this, or any other that I am aware of. |

| 74933 | 2002-09-01 06:21:00 | It won't cause problems if you connect from a dialup shortcut or OE is set to connect with your dialup account but unlike you Susan many people are not aware of what is required to connect to the internet . You obviously don't connect by opening IE They open IE and expect to get websites without having to do anything else . If IE explorer does not bring up the connect screen or they have connect automatically set in their dialup connection and they have never dial a connection selected then the modem never dials and connects and they wonder why they can't get websites . Another common problem is OE set to hang up after sending/receiving, they connect from OE get mail and then open IE and surprise, no web sites . It might seem obvious to us that the modem has disconnected but it is not for many people . Regarding the initial problem I doubt if Xtra had an outage for 2 . 5 hrs where web sites were unavailable . POP mail accounts are not completely seperate, they do have their own servers but the server address still have to resolve to an IP address the same as a Web site address . |

| 74934 | 2002-09-01 09:59:00 | You are right about that Jim, I do connect with a shortcut (through my internet timer actually). I tend to forget some of these simple things sometimes. :D |
