I have a dual boot system, Windows 98SE and Windows XP
home edition with Service Pack 1. The computer is a
Pentium 3 with 256 K of ram.

The Windows 98 system works well, but the Windows XP
system will connect to my IP with my dial up, but the
browser will not display any page. The Windows XP system
just quit displaying any web page.
I have reinstalled Windows XP over the original
installation and I have reinstalled the Netscape 7.1
browser. I have been told by my IP, that I do connect.

Please help!
 
Check the options of any security software you have installed, firewalls,
antivirus, etc. as some setting in that type of application is likely
causing the problem. If you can't figure out which setting, turn off the
entire application to see if the issue goes away, if it does you will at
least know the source. You then will have to trace which options possibly
by enabling things you are blocking one by one until the problem goes away.

Don't overlook popup or ad blocking software either as such software if not
properly set can also cause the problem you describe.
