Everytime I open my Outlook Express to read UseNet postings I get this
message: "No connection to the Internet is currently available. To view
Internet content that has been saved on your computer, click Work Offline."
If I click on "Try Again" it goes through. This doesn't happen when I try to
download my email. Sometimes it will happen when I click on a web page link
in my browser. Also, my Media Player can not connect to the Internet either
but if I open my browser it will display any web page I request (even
non-cached web pages).

I am part of a LAN at work that is always connected to the Internet and I'm
the only person reported to have this problem. If I close my Outlook Express
right now and reopen it and click on a UseNet subscription I will get the
message again.

I've tried other suggestions posted to the archives with no luck.

Is there a solution to this yet? After reading some of the archives it looks
like only WinXP users are having this issue.

My OS is updated with the latest MS updates.

Someone suggested in an archived post to run the repair utility on the LAN
Connection under "Network Connections" in the control panel. I ran this but
it failed to dump the ARP Cache. This did not solve the problem. I dumped
the ARP cache by going to the command prompt and it still didn't solve the
problem. I then restarted into Safe Mode and ran the repair utility (right
click on LAN Connection) and it completed successfully. I then restarted
into normal mode and all is fixed (for now).
