74915 2002-08-29 12:04:00 A wee question on behalf of johnboy, and am curious myself.

Just got an e-mail from him, stating that he can not access the internet but can send and recieve e-mails.
He is with Xtra.

74920 2002-08-31 04:23:00 Easy. Email uses one program - Internet another. Stuff 1 up you will still be able to use the other.

74922 2002-08-31 04:46:00 Hmmm ..... check your Tools > Internet Options. Click the Connections tab. Highlight the connection you use and click Settings.

There should be a Proxy Server setting there somewhere. If it's ticked untick it. Also make sure "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" are unticked. Click OK all the way back out and see how that goes.
