aeroman10 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Have you tried dialing up to a another number (if your ISP has one) Add DNS numbers (you will need to contact your ISP for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Sounds like your ActiveX support may not be set right. Have you tried PC Pitstop's full tests? If so, post a link to your results here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroman10 Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 You will need to contact your ISP for DNS numbers There are many other settings which you can try to resolve this problem. I could write an essay about it but the best thing for you to do is to contact your ISP tech support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
