Web Page Could not be Displayed 1

[amh2700]

I have not been able to see web pages after connecting to the internet through dial-up connection.

I would be most grateful if you could help me to solve the problem?

Best regards.

Do you get any errors when you try to see web pages?

Have you confirmed that you do indeed have an IP address? What are you using to view the web pages (IE, Firefox, or AOL software, etc.)? What error messages, if any are you getting?

I did not see any error. However, the web page could not be displayed and rather it is too much slow to display.

Thank you for your response.

Indeed I have an IP address.

Indeed I have an IP address. I use IE and I do not see any error.

I assume the web pages are just timing out and you get the default web page could not be displayed message. You could try pinging a site that will respond to pings to make sure your packets are indeed traveling across the Internet. Other than that I am thinking that you should reset the winsock catalog. This may solve the problem.

-Open a command prompt (Start >Run >cmd)
-at the prompt type netsh and then hit enter
-then type winsock reset

You will probably have to reboot your computer after this.

If you do not get any error, but the page eventually shows up: you may have an invalid DNS server configured, you may wish to check to see if they are hard coded, or automatically given to you via DHCP.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Also, your dial up connection may be slow as well, which is why they are displaying slowly. When connected to your ISP, how fast is your connection?
