Connection not recognized

[Guest]

Every time I start IE6, I receive the following message: " 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 attemp to
connect; two more boxes that say : a) Work offline b) Try again.
After clicking try again, the connection is recognized ( I use DSL). anyone
knows the fix for this problem? thanks.

Hi,
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. Do you have the latest version of whatever PPPoE software your ISP
provides? Check with your ISP.

[Last resort]
If your PPPoE software is Enternet 300, some people report better
performance from RASPPPOE http://www.raspppoe.com/ Your ISP will not
provide tech support for RASPPPOE.

Hope this helps,
Don
