Offline when online

[Michael]

Why does my browser and my Outlook Express keep on acting
as if I were offline when I actually have an always on
connection? I keep on getting the message that I appear
to be offline and I have to click on try again to open web
pages etc. Plese notify me by email when you have posted a
reply, I will not reply to it, I promise.

No, I did not help. I have cheked the registry and the
settings were right, as stated in the article, I have
deleted the cookies and files and history but still the
problem is there. Anything else I should try?

Sorry I should have given you my page on the off line problem yesterday.
Was too sure that the URL I gave you was your solution. Hope this helps.
Look for some clues.

Michael,
A few more things to try:
(Ignore #1- you say you've tried it)
1. A registry edit:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/faq/5.+Troubleshooting#357
2. Repair IE
194177 - Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;194177
318378 - How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in
Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q318378
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. If your PPPoE software is Enternet 300, some people report better
performance from RASPPPOE http://www.raspppoe.com/ But... your ISP will not
provide support for RASPPPOE.
6. Do you have the latest version of whatever PPPoE software your ISP
provides?

Hope this helps,
Don
