Cant connect to internet - Need... help!

DX Zero · 01-22-2003, 06:21 PM

hmmm... so .. my computer stop connecting to the internet one month ago. I have AOL and my computer was new (bought in 2002) ... one day it stopped working.. I connected the phone line to my OLD computer (98) and I could connect to the internet.. I took the new computer to compUSA and they took a look at it.. they said the modem could dial out.. and there was a problem with aol, contact aol..

problem: modem attempts to dial to aol, after three tries it always worked.. i could read email, aolchat, and use aol features.. but i cannot go to webpages, view buddylist/chat, use msn messenger, aim, download, etc.

I told my neighbor about it, and he was gonna try to connect me to a network that he uses.. it dialed.. but same problem.. can't do anything except 'stay online'

... i bought a new modem.. STILL the computer cant connect to the internet!! i used the modem on this computer and it worked! dubya tee eff!! ....

ok.. so the only solution now is switch ISP ..

hmm anyone heard of this problem or have a solution b4 i do it?

yes i had the exact same problem.
Why do you think i was out for the time of june to late sept.
well anyway...i had to resove the problem myself since aol is a bitch.
What i did is i reinstalled windows. make sure you back up yo ####.
It seem some files were missing or corrupt.
It may or may not work for you. That why you should back up all of your files

although you might want to leave this as a last choice
