Hi,
I am connected to broadband but when I type in an address it says that internet explorer can't display this webpage. The ISP help desk said that it is definitly connected because it recieves info when you type a whole series of numbers into the address bar. Its strane because when I have used dial up the address bar worked.
Really appreciate the help
The Product is Acer Extensa 2300- its not on your list.
Thanks
I left this at your other inquiry, but I think you might of missed it, so I am copying it here. Good luck.
Open Internet Explorer, under the tools tab, select "Internet options". Once there, select the "Connections" tab. At the top you will see, "To setup and Internet connection, click "Setup", click on "Setup", once there, click "next", On the next page, make sure "connect to the internet" is selected and click next. On the next page click, "Setup my connection manually", click next. On the next page select(Make sure it reads exactly as follows), "Connect using a broadband connection that is always on", click next. On the next page, click "finish". That should do it.
Please tell us what OS you are using(98, ME, XP, Vista, ETC.). Until then, please try the following. With Internet Explorer open, click on the "Tools" tab and select, "Internet Options", once there, click on the "Connections" tab. When that opens, under the heading "Dial-up and Virtual Private Networking", see if your former dial-up ISP(AOL, ETC.) is listed. If so, delete those components(Providing you are not using it to check this site). If you formerly used AOL, uninstall it from the Add-Remove programs funtion in the control panel. Also under that heading, make sure "Never Dial a Connection" is checked. Hit the "Apply" button when it becomes available. Next under the heading" Local Area Network(LAN) settings", click the "LAN settings" button, look to see if "Automatically Detect Settings" is checked. Try it both ways(checked and unchecked). Note Internet Explore may need to be closed and reopened for changes to take affect. Good luck. If this does not work, I am not giving up on you, just reply with some feedback and your OS.

My best guess with the limited info given is that your settings on your computer are somehow not right. My best guess is your IP address is not correct. When you right click on my network places and go to properties you should see a list of connections. Double click on the one you believe is your internet. Click on the support tab and at the top it should say next to address type "assigned by dhcp" not "manually assigned". Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. I took it into the computer shop and he said that he would use a program to find spyware? I couldn't really understand his accent but he also mentioned that if the program couldnt delete what was blocking the connection then he would need to reinstall windows and I would lose my microsoft package.
Hopefully this works, its just a rther expensive option.
Thanks for your help, Im sure that it would have been easier for you if I actually knew a bit more about what I was talking about so I could provide adequate information!
