 Can anyone help?
When I try to connect to the internet, I get an error like www.xxxx.com cannot be found. When I click on my browser, it does not dial up a connection. In fact none of my programs will dail up automatacally. Everything seems to be set for dialup, but will not. The only way I can get on the net is using the icon in the dialup networking folder. Any suggestions? My ISP cannot answer it. They say it's just a bug in windows, but I've run acrossed it before and can't remember how I fixed it.

You could try uninstalling dial up networking and re-installing it. I had a similar problem once and this worked. I could only put it down to some corruption.

you say everything seems to be set for it, did you go into control panel, internet, click the connections tab and click dial whenever network connection is not present.. I'm just checking on win2k, I'm pretty sure its about identical on 9x though, I'll reboot to 98 later and check. the www.xxxx.com not found errors I would guess as being dns errors, are your dns servers correctly listed? have you tried accessing these sites by ip? ie 128.242.228.49 for examnotes.net anyway, give those a try if you haven't already, and let me know if this was any help

got it!
I finally found out what the problem was. Somehow, some way, I lost the dialup key in the registry. I went in and added it plus a couple of values and it worked like a champ. Thanks for all the suggestions!
