"No connection to the internet can be found"

[ingramtl]

New here and hope this inquiry is in the right forum and techs at Alltel/DSL are of no help.
I am having a recurring, 4 out of ten times, message, that says I am not on the 'Net, when in fact I am. It asks me if I wish to work offline, or retry.
When I click on the retry, it opens up the site I am trying to access.

I have tried somedays without my anti-viral program, as well as my firewall, and still, these messages come up preventing me from access the 'net 20% of the time.

I am "running" 98 2nd, using Internet Explorer (Version 6.0.2800.1106)

Also running high DSL from Alltel with no proxies.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this occurs as well as How I might remedey the situation as so I have constant access without those interruptions?
Thanks in advance

I suspect that the computer has more than one type of internet connection configured. I would get rid of the connection that is no longer used and see what happens. This is just a guess.

Someone here can probably give you the right answer, but you may also try the Microsoft: Windows 95/98 forum.

Good luck...

No, no other connection has been made. In fact, because of the extensive use of this set-up and myself having two message boards, as well as a worldwide newsfeed, I have just recently re-formatted the hard drive.
I also chose this venue as I have been waiting for a "fix" for the problem at the Microsoft forums for the past two weeks with not one reply.

Thank you for your timely reply.
