Cox Cable (my provider) verified I am getting out and I tried a hardwire
connection that failed also. That should eliminate the router. I also
tried the hotspot at my nieghborhood coffee shop and couldn't get out there
(although XP again said I was connected as it did with the hardline also).
When I tried your ipconfig /all I got a DOS box that came and went so fast I
couldn't see whats in it. Microsoft talks about (in relation to SP2)
uninstalling a winsock LSP that may be corrupt (they say it could cause this
problem). Then it will "self-heal". They do not tell you how to uninstall
it though.

Some things to try.
Eliminate the wireless connection and try wired.
Post back your ip address and other info from ipconfig.
(Start/Run/cmd...ipconfig /all)
What is the ip address of your router?
Try ping
www.bbc.co.uk (or some other url) in a cmd window. What does
that report?
I will call Linksys to check the router but I think I eliminated that as
the
problem. I went over to the local coffee shop with hotspot service,
again
XP said I was logged on with a strong signal but again the programs (IE6,
Outlook 2000, OE6) couldn't find it. Then I did the ultimate, I also
have
dialup service with AT&T WorldNet. It wouldn't even access over the hard
line although XP again said that I was connected via the dial up service.
Whatever it is I would think it was part of XP, but something that would
effect all the programs. I am not experienced in this but I would think
that there would be a very limited number of thing that could cause such
a
problem

If you are speaking of the version of Outlook if you check the 1st
message
in the thread it is there. That's probably the 1st thing I learned.
It
was
there as well as the versions of Windows, Internet Explorer, and
Outlook
Express. Any ideas?

or
