We just built a brand new pc with AMD Athlon cpu. Finally got the modem working, but now the browser,MSN IE, just comes up "Page cannot be displayed" after it connects. Our copy of Windows 95 has IE 3.2 on it. I loaded IE 4.0 from older modem software, then found we had IE 5.0 on the new modem software. If anyone can help us, we would appreciate it. Thanks

So, which version of IE do you have now? My recommendation would be a re-installation of either IE 4.0 or 5.0 or an upgrade to IE 5.5 with Service pack 2 to fix the problems you are having. Either that, or you are really have network problems whenyou connect through your modem. Do you have any special settings you need to add to your IE settings that are specified by your ISP, like Proxy Server settings? See if you can remove any copies of IE that have been upgraded on your computer, and then attempt a re-install.

If you can connect to your ISP but not surf the problem maybe a corrupted C:\Windows\System\Wsock32.dll file. Delete the file and reload Windows without deleteing anything else.
