MSIE6 No connection/Try again

[Guest]

Few days ago, I posted the following message:

" 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:

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

Unfortunately, nothing seems to work; my OS is windows98SE and I use PPPoE (
DFE 530 fast ethernet adapter version 300).
Anyone with ideas? ( uninstalling IE6 and Reinstalling might work?) By the
way, those strings in the registry LoadLC and LoadSens are set to "yes" and
"yes"; I can change them to "auto" but closing IE and opening thereafter,
those values are set to "yes" again.

Thanks

After new attempts, I must say that I finally fixed the problem; a
combination of fixing the registry ( LoadLCE and LoadSEnS); renaming the file
Loadwc.exe and and checking "automatically detect settings" in
IE-->Properties-->Connections-->Lan settings; and thereafter unchecking that
box, IE6 is now recognizing the connection. See if this fix is permanent.
Thanks , Dan.
