browser won't access internet, help?!

[Sherry A. Johnson]

Hi
Got a question am hoping that someone out there can help me with.

Here goes, I have a machine which is running windows 98SE recently it has
developed a small
problem. When you use the dial up networking to go online the modem grabs it
and it works however
when you open the browser it can't locate the net. You get no page available
and it doesn't matter what
website you go to.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance
S

This ng is more geared toward video display, a more appropriate ng would be:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

Right click the IE icon on the desktop and click Properties.
Under the General tab what shows as your Home Page?

Are you using a firewall? If yes, have you blocked anything lately?

Have you checked your internet dialup settings?

You could try reinstalling IE over the top.
If you still have problems, download/run HijackThis from:
http://majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html

Do not remove anything with it until you get advice on what to remove, HJThis will
list many apps that are needed along with the bad ones. Removing items listed
hap-hazardly without knowing what they are can/will create a royal mess. Read the
quick start here on how to create a log file that can be copied/pasted into a forum
that can provide assistance on removal of unwanted pests.

Then post the logs to an appropriate NG here where they specialize in
spyware/hijacker removal:
