I am using Windows XP on 2 different, brand new Dell computers. I have no problem dialing into AT & T and get connected immediately at anywhere between 33 and 42 KBS. My problem is:
I can not always go to a web page. It can be any web site, my AT & T home page or any other site I am truing. I get a message box that the page can not be found and after constantly hitting the refresh button or reentering a URL I get disconnected. I can immediately dial in, get connected, and may or may not get to a page. it is very frustrating. This happens on both I.E. and Mozilla Firefox.
Any help??????

Did you clear out spyware?
Spybot S&D works great

Make sure to up-date it before using it.
1-Check for problems
2-Fix Problems
3-Immunize

If you still have problems IE Fix should work for you. Good luck and happy computing.

Don't know about the home version of AT&T dial up, but the business version installs a fire wall.

Go to start/programs/AT&T and you should see it.
