I did upgrade from XP home to XP pro on my notebook. I don't know what's wrong with it, I'm not able to connect to the Internet since I upgraded. Can somebody help me with this problem.
well lets start by finding out what type of internet you use. is it a modem dialing up to an ISP, is it a broadband connection through a network card. Are you on a network and have to pass through a Proxy?
I've AOL & MSN. When I use AOL the moment I login it says "error occured in your intenet connection, exit the application and restart". When I use MSN it doesn't even allow me to login, says "unable to provide MSN service/error in your system".
I tried to setup new connection, but all the options are disabled except connect using broadband cable. I don't know what else to try.
Any help is appreciated.
go into hardware manager, and look under modems, if there is a red X or a yellow ! you could have problems with the hardware. start there just to make sure the modem is working ok.
I had a similar problem with my laptop and after spending a considerable amount of time with Compaq and Microsoft, I finally figured it out on my own. Go to the modem settings and try clicking or unclicking hardware or software control. I don't have the details as I'm away from my laptop. Hope that helps..
1.go to control panel then to administartive tools->services.
2.start the following services RPC,telephony,remote auto connection manager and make the startup as automatic.
In regards to your earlier post stating: "I tried to setup new connection, but all the options are disabled except connect using broadband cable."
would Smah's Apr 23, 2003 post in thread779-532765 apply?
I suspect that upgrading was a bad idea. A clean install would have been perferable. Now, I would try:
1) uninstall the modem from the Device Manager
2) turn off
3) physically remove the modem
4) turn on again, make sure it is gone
5) turn off
6) physically install the modem
7) turn on and allow XP to find the modem
8) install the proper drivers
9) see if it works.
