"Work Offline" Message

[Jeff]

I have DSL and I get this message constantly when I try to
browse anywhere I get the above message. The body of the
message reads as follows.

"No connection to the internet is currently available. To
view internet content that has been saved on your
computer, click Work Offline.

Click Try Again to attempt to connect."

The are then two buttons, one says "Work Offline" and the
other says "Try Again". Of coarse I click Try Again and it
takes me too the requsted page.

Any Ideas, SBC tells me its a Internet Explorer issue.

Jeff,
A few things to try:
1. A registry edit:

2. Repair IE
194177 - Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;194177
318378 - How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in
Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q318378
3. If you have an unneeded DUN connection setup, remove it. (Ctrl Panel>
Dial-Up Networking )
4. In Ctrl Panel> Network> Configuration, remove unneeded components (such
as Dial-Up Adapter)
5. If your PPPoE software is Enternet 300, some people report better
performance from RASPPPOE http://www.raspppoe.com/ But... your ISP will not
provide support for RASPPPOE.

Hope this helps,
Don
