I've got a Gateway computer that dials up onto the internet and will not
open any web pages.
It runs Windows ME. Internet Explorer 6 and OE will not connect to the
server but I can ping any IP address that I know.
I've deleted the HOSTS files, I've scanned for viruses with Norton and
F-Protect, I've checked the modem by putting an external modem on the
computer. It too dials up and won't load a page.
All settings in IE are as they should be. There are no proxy servers or
oddities there.
I've run ADAWARE 6 on it and while it found a bunch of cookies there wasn't
anything major.
I've run Google searches for everything that I can think of and not come up
with anything that works.
Don't say get rid of ME. It's not my call to make the computer belongs to a
customer so I don't have any choice in the matter.

Thanks that worked.
