Hello,

I have dialup connection and I can successfully
dial up to the internet, *this is on another computer, not
this one* but when I try to do something like view IE or
log on msn messenger, it says that I'm not connected even
though I am... sounds confusing... I ran a netstat on my
computer and it showed no active connection at all while I
was connected... I tried to reinstall my protocal and that
didn't work, and I tried one solution microsoft database
had, which was deleted the winsock files then reinstalling
the protocal and that didn't work... I've reinstalled XP
twice to try to fix it and that doesn't work.... please
help!!!
 
Services may need to be enabled. Windows like to change stuff like the accounts they run on to this guy nt athority. change it to local system ( not local services -- the other wise guy on your computer).

ask microsoft about it and they plead .not guilty but the % of nt athor that are actually working would blow your mind

or what may be better still ".\<YOURNAME>" and your password (dont worry no one can see it). In my case it would be .\A (TheRoyalA is a wooden indian)

at any rate you must have registry coming out the gills if you did 2 full installs. i'd get a registry app and methodicly cut out all keys ending in a .1 or .2.

just do it.

unless you want delve into the wonders of the xp registry

that fncker must be hundred mbs.
 
Apologies in advance but I don't have a clue what you're
talking about. Is there a question herein?

these are services Jo
services which enable you connect
without them...you won
enable them for god sake make happen automatically, obligitory if you wil
but services have to run under this iron curtian of security we call windows x
and so there are entities which are declared for clearence of securit

meanwhile ...
microsoft being oh so selfrightous decided to put copywrite protections on xp being more concerned with whats owned them than the stability of you system.
in essence what is create is this teetering disater not only in the way devlopers deploy their wares but internally within the operating system such that thing are not as they were in 2000.
2000 watched its files but was conformant to the operator. winxp wants to be but is torn from both ends. .net is the "fiix" for this. but your problem start on day one when you install xp. you were actually supposed to reengineer the whole freakin thing like dell or gateway does. but to your specifications. see when you install something it has installation path etc. which maybe inbeded in msi file or in inf files. there in lies the problem. inf file are static. (unless you rewrite them). they dont adapt well. so what happens is you get the default when you install directly from the disk. thats what nt athority is. just a default they put inthere which is supposed to work. i have seen it but not often. install service pack your back to defaults. window being installed balks frequently. you have to fix it manually other wise theres 4 way collision of security interests. theyre rather nonchalent about it. hunan house of confusion. and the whole activation thing was mostly a bluff. really just to keep small 3rd world countries from installing one copy on every single computer. and to be able to charge more for servers because thats where the money is, corporations with networks. the sever isnt much really. a few extra tools but the technology is ancient. novel used to be the server but theres no honor among theives.
 
Open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /renew". Does it work or what
error do you get?

Don't worry right now about what services are running. Probably not the
problem.
 
No question, Uncle Joe. It's an answer to a question that should never have
been cross-posted to microsoft.public.word.newusers since it has nothing to
do with Word.
