60852 2002-07-08 12:46:00 I have a Toshiba lap top running Windows 98se.
It logs on to my ISP as normal but will not transfer any data or find a web site.
No error messages are shown, & the modem stays connected until I log off.

I use the same ISP with a desk top computer, using the same copy of 98se.
Any ideas?

60853 2002-07-09 03:54:00 This can happen if you have got "Use Proxy Server" ticked. That's somewhere in the TCP/IP properties. ;-) Graham L (2)
60854 2002-07-09 05:05:00 Or even more basically than Graham suggested, this will happen if you dont have a TCP/IP installed and bound to the dial up adapter, check in Control Panel-Network to see if TCP/IP is listed. Terry Porritt (14)

60856 2002-07-09 09:23:00 My laptop has this problem only at home when I use power which I can tell by the low bps. I can get sites etc on battery only. I managed to isolate the problem to interference coming down the power wires, well I think I have. What bps do you get when you cant get a web site? thephoenix (850)
