Hi, I am having trouble with Win 2000 and IE/Netscape. I got a new computer and installed 2000, the only way I can connect to the internet is to uninstall/reinstall tcp/ip each time I want to go online. If I don't do this, it will not connect and load any internet pages. Once I reinstall, it works fine until the next time I boot my computer. This works, but is ridiculous. Someone suggested I install SP1, now I can't connect to the internet at all! I get a message that says connection was reset by server. I am at my wits end, is there anyway to use the internet with Win 2000? I do not have any firewall software installed(no zone alarm). Please help. I have already contacted my internet support with my initial problem, they were not able to help. The SP1 problem is new, any suggestions how to fix it all? Thanks.

did you tried with another modem or driver?

Did you installed one of those ISP's internet kit Cdrom???? The last time i see similar error, my winsock was modified for a PPPoE DSL software. I was not able to use regular modem.

Thanks. I have tried different drivers and I haven't installed an ISP internet kit. I think it is my modem, I have been told to get a hardware modem instead of a software modem. It is just that it is a new computer/modem, and I didn't think I should need to buy a new one. It has been working better, but I still get the connection reset by server message, especially if I am trying to download a file. I will try a new modem and see what happens.
