12200	2001-05-05 04:55:00	I can connect to my ISP but am unable to access websites, send/receive email or use any internet related app eg Naviscope. IE 5.5 says 'This page cannot be displayed.....' Netscape Messenger says '...socket connection could not be established....'. Laplink says 'TCP/IP is unavailable....'. In Control Panel under Network, TCP/IP is setup as is the Dial-up Adapter. I have re-installed Win98, removed dial-up networking and added it back - all to no avail. Please HELP!! Currently using daughter's computer. Many thanks.	Guest (0)

The two checkboxes at the bottom of this screen should also (normally) be checked, now press OK, and pray that this works.....	Guest (0)

If you haven't already, may I suggest you use your Windows Trouble Shooter Function: Go: Start > Help > Contents > Trouble Shooting > Trouble Shooters > Dial-up Networking > then click onto 'I am receiving the error message 'Internet Explorer can't display a web page' or 'A connection to the server cannot be established' then click Next and follow the easy steps.
