Connection Problem

[Dave]

For a few months I have had a problem connecting to my home page and
accessing the EMail Server.

I can connect to the ISP very easily but it usually takes several
tries to connect to any website.

When I have called Tech Support about this in the past I have received
the advice to delete my Internet Connection and then create a new one.
I have done this but it doesn't help and makes no sense because I have
no problem connecting to the ISP.

I have had this happen at all different times of the day and night so
I don't believe it's a high traffic problem.

I am using:
Windows ME 4.90.3000
Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1123

and have not installed new programs or hardware during the time I have
had this problem.

I would like to be able to use my Internet Explorer without taking six
or seven tries before getting to my Home Page.

Any help will be appreciated.

At least once a week, I go through all of the things listed in the
websites below. I find no evidence of spyware, scumware, virus, or
Trojans.

Someone has suggested I may have a problem with TCP/IP but I don't
know enough about that to fool with it.

I am beginning to believe the problem is with my ISP's server. My wife
uses a totally separate computer with the same ISP and has the same
problem.

Thanks for your help - I'll keep searching.

Dave,
I don't have a lot of faith in this, but it won't hurt...
Go to http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm Download lspfix.zip. Read the lsp.txt
file and run lspfix.

Dave,

file and run lspfix.

Don,

In case you mean you don't know whether lspfix will work, I used it and it
fixed my Winsock when I got infected with new.dotnet.

In case you meant that the Winsock may not need to be fixed, ignore this
post. <g>
