Im using WinMe and an Aztech external modem to connect to the internet. I've already tried connecting to the internet using this setup successfully... but now, after successfully dialing-up my connection, I cant seem to access any sites! I end up with a connection and a browser error.

What could be the problem?

usually this is at the isp ,you will
have to call their tech support to get
it taken care of.
one thing to check is
start-run-type winipcfg ,hit enter and the click more info ,see if dns sever numbers are showing up.
you can also try making a new connection ,in dial-up networking,
and use all the default settings and see if it will go anywhere to doublecheck it.
but most often at the isp level.

I found ME to be very flakey at times with trying to connect to my ISP etc but once I had upgraded to IE5.5 (and whilst you are at it upgrade media player 7 as well as this is bloated and unreliable until upgraded) and this solved my problems. I know it sounds like a cop-out but it really did work for me. Good luck.

Most likely all you will have to do is Uninstall and reinstall dialup networking from the control panel under add/remove programs and that will fix that data flow problem about 90% of the time, give that a try.
