I use Windows 98/IE 6. I've checked out poss. causes. Was told must be modem. Any way to actually prove this? I can connect fairly often-othertimes not at all. Everything else seems OK.

I have the same problem. It's because of a problem with the phone line. There is either static, noise, or a bad ground on your phone line. I have found that some times it helps to shut down and reboot. Dial up is the worst, this is all I can get were I live. Try another service. Also have you up dated your windows, And virus protection? It also helps to Remove everything you don't need or wont from you computer, the more you have, the slower you computer works. Hope this helps, It did wonders for mine.

Make sure that your IE or Netscape is configured properly with your connection settings - the Router & Wireless Card should have info on how to do this.\n\nIf you're certain that both the card & Router are configured properly, call your ISP - they can walk you through your settings and see if there are any changes that need to be made.

Go to Preferences and check to see if your Connections are correct.  For it to work (if you don't have a firewall, or use proxys) your connection should be "No Proxys"  If you have a firewall use the "Firewall, No Proxys."  That might be your problem.

That's odd. Make sure your server is running.  Also, make sure your IIS is configured right.  And make sure that the connection to that computer is solid.  I know that I had probelms with a server with a funky connection.

What version of windows are you using? Do you know if you have Windows Service Pack 2? If not, that is probably what's wrong - download the latest Windows Updates from the Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/)\n\nDo you know if your computer is set to automatically connect? To check, do the following:\n\n1) Go to Start menu ---> Settings ---> Network connections (Or alternatively, Control Panel ---> Network connections)\n\n2) Right click on the connection that is connecting to the router, and select 'properties'. You should see a list of protocols - like, TCP/IP and Windows File and Printer Sharing.\n\nClick the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selection, and hit 'Properties'.\n\n3) You SHOULD see that 'Obtain an IP adress Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server addresses automatically' are both selected. If not, select them, and press ok.\n\n4) Once this is done, try unplugging/reconnecting your wireless card, if you can.\n\nIf none of this works, there could be a number of reasons:\n\nYour computer is too far away from the receiver.\nYou need to update your Windows to the latest version.\nIf you are using a router, the router may be encrypted.\nYour network card could be faulty.\n\nI'd suggest finding someone that knows about computers and networking that lives nearby to come and help you with it all. You can only explain so much on the Internet!

Reinstalling it might be a solution, though I don't recommended it. IE is still full of errors and therefore i don't trust it. You could take into consideration installing an alternative browser, firefox or opera. These are better, they don't consume too much resources and are free of charge.

Make sure that you have a ROUTER and not a Hub. That could possibly be your problem.

Check the passward and username\nCheck the firewall or internet security setting if you got some software for that\nCheck the internet connection, it sounds like you dont even have any tcp/ip connection\nLast resort, uninstall the software and then reinstall it

Ok, a few steps:\n1. Try connecting the modem to the computer. If u are unnable to connect to the internet the the problem could be youre modem(mo signal or hardware malfunction) or the cable you are using\n2. If step 1 succeds (and youre connection is ok) try connecting your modem to the router, router to the computer, access the router from youre computer (it mostlikely has a web interface accesable by a private space address - check the routers instruction manual to see it's default address and what address you should use for youre computer) and try to configure the wan interface on youre router....If that fails hmmm..I never got to that but come back and we'll try more :D

Depending who your Service Provider is, and sometimes even your modem (you didn't mention either one - some modems may need the router configure in a slightly different way).  Below are some things you can try (remember this is manual troubleshooting, no need to insert the CD when doing the instructions below).\n\nIf your ADSL connection is PPPoE try this, meaning if your PC is connected direct to your modem and you need to log on to the internet using a connection manager (in other words, you need to enter username and password):\n\n1.) Power off both modem and router.\n2.) Plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the internet port of the router and one computer to one of the 4 ports.\n3.)Power up modem, wait for the light to stabilize (or when DSL light is lit) - this indicates your modem has established communication to your ISP.\n4.)Power up your router.\n5.)On your computer open IE browser and hit the stop button (or F5) to stop it from getting online.  You just need to use the browser to get to the router page and configure.\n6.)In the address bar (NOT search bar) , type 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter. It will prompt you for the username and password of the router - leave the username blank, type admin for the password (if you had used the CD previously, this may not work - try the password you had entered before).\n7.)Once the router page is up - choose PPPoE for Internet login type.\n8.)Enter the username and password your internet provider gave you.  You may need to type the username in email format (e.g. name@sbcglobal.com).\n9.)Select Keep alive.\n10.)Save settings.\n11.)Click to Status tab (at the upper far right of the Linksys page). It should show you're connected.  You should also have values for IP address and DNS Servers.  If not, click connect.  If an error comes up - "Authentication Failed" means either you mistyped your username or password, or both.\n12.)If you get "Cannot connect to PPPoE server" your modem and router may have the same (LAN) IP address.  You need to go back to Setup page and look for router's IP address (it will show 192.168.1.1).  Change it to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 - save settings on the router.  Restart your computer, if you know how to release and renew the IP of your PC, you can do that instead (because I'm too darn lazy to give you the instruction for that right now, just restart the PC to simplify things... sorry :P).  Then follow steps 5, 6 and 11.\n\nIf you don't need to use a connection manager and your ISP did not give you a username and password for your account, try this:\n\n.) Power off both modem and router.\n2.) Plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the internet port of the router and one computer to one of the 4 ports.\n3.)Power up modem, wait for the light to stabilize (or when DSL light is lit) - this indicates your modem has established communication to your ISP.\n4.)Power up your router.\n5.)On your computer open IE browser and hit the stop button (or F5) to stop it from getting online.  You just need to use the browser to get to the router page and configure.\n6.)In the address bar (NOT search bar) , type 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter. It will prompt you for the username and password of the router - leave the username blank, type admin for the password (if you had used the CD previously, this may not work - try the password you had entered before).\n7.)Click to Status tab (at the upper far right of the Linksys page).

You should also have values for IP address and DNS Servers. \n8.)If not, you need to go back to Setup page and look for router's IP address (it will show 192.168.1.1).  Change it to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 - save settings on the router.  Restart your computer, if you know how to release and renew the IP of your PC, you can do that instead (because I'm too darn lazy to give you the instruction for that right now, just restart the PC to simplify things... again, sorry

I had same problem; try to re-set the router to original factory settings then turn everything off, disconect all cables from modem to router and to pc. Wait ten minutes, re-conect everything and set up your VOI as the first time, and as basic as possible. Cahnces are it will work again. GL

the only thing that is definatly the case it that this is a 'weakest link' problem... something in your setup is causing the problem- it could be your processor, ram, os config, network card, router, service, or even just a problem at whatever website you're visiting...
