Trouble connecting other applications 1

[Exx]

I recently had my main hard drive(c go bad on my computer and had to replace it with my second had drive(d.

When I made my (d drive into my (c drive, a lot of stuff got messed up. I ended up having to reinstall Win98 SE and a few other programs.

After up and running, I see I have another problem: I can connect to the Internet just fine with AOL, but it will not let me browse with IE or Netscape. In addition, AOL instant messenger, MSN messenger, napster, eudora, and some other programs act like I'm not connected to the Internet when I am.

Has any one else every experienced this problem or know how I could fix it??

Best Wishes,

Are you getting any error messages when trying to browse and what are they? For the AOL browse problem you could try the following. It's worked for a number of others i've seen.

1) Log Off AOL,you can NOT do this while you are online with the service

2) Close America Online.

3) Go to the Start button, select Settings, then Control Panel

4) Find the Network Icon and double click on it to open the Network settings window

5) Scroll through the list of Network adapters until you find the AOL adapter, then click on it ONCE to highlight it

6) Click the REMOVE button to delete the AOL adapter

7) Close the Network window, and any other windows you have open

8) Go to Start, then shutdown the PC

9) Reboot the system and open AOL again from the menu or the AOL icon on your desktop

10) Log back on to America Online. The adapter will "rebuild" itself when you restart AOL
