I have just installed a dial up connection on an oldish laptop. I am able to
get connected to my ISP because I get the balloon in the bottom right to
confirm this but Internet Explorer and Outllook or Outlook Express cannot see
this connection. I am sure I have the account set up OK in OE and if I could
at least get online with IE then I could get my mail from the website. Please
help I am sure I am missing something simple. Thanks
Charlie

Well did you change the settings in both the IE and OE for the new ISP?.
How do you connect through a modem what anti-Virus you have?.
HTH.

Thanks nass I got your advice from the other section and i think most of my
problems were from that virus AOL. Once I had uninstalled as much of that as
it would allow me then it reliquinshed its grip on OE and IE and all is well!
Thanks again
