When I first turn on the computer, I find that I can hit
the start button, select favorites, then select the
desired web page and the connection to the Internet works
(I have broadband). After using the computer for a while,
however, I can no longer get the desired web page - the
pointer is visible, but the hourglass is not. If I go to
my home page via the taskbar or internet explorer icon on
the desktop and use the left panel favorites pane, all
seems to work well. I went to my broadband provider
(Comcast)and cleaned out the cookies and temp files at
their suggestion - it didn't work. I then went to Dell
tech support (my OEM)and with their help, I uninstalled
Windows XP Home edition, including IE 6, then re-
installed both - without touching the files. The re-
install works fine overall, but I still have the same
problem when I try to access favorites through the start
button. Can anyone help? Thank you. Joe Gagliano
 
Do you have your DNS numbers listed in the LAN settings of
the computer? Is your connection PPPoA, PPPoE, or RBE? If
you go to the command prompt and do a "ipconfig /all", is
the DNS numbers listed in there?
