Hi Mark,

The message you're getting is what usually happens when you try to open a
Web page when you're not connected. You need to connect to your Internet
Service Provider first, and then activate Windows online.

First get on the net, and make sure you can reach say www.microsoft.com
in your browser.

Then Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Activate
Windows
and take the 'activate on the internet now' option.

Trying to let it dial up for itself often seems to give trouble
