Hello, my Toshiba satellite 2800-S201 laptop is having dial-up network
software problems. When I try to dial into my ISP I am be able to log on and
get past the userID and password authentication process, but right after the
dial up window would minimize I would get a "this page cannot be displayed"
message." I know I was connected to the ISP server because the network
connection status shows a small number of bytes (429 sent, 645 received) as
being transferred and received. Anyway I asked someone what might be causing
this problem and their suggestion was to delete the TCP/IP protocol and the
dial up adaptor because either might be corrupt. I followed these directions
found in the troubleshooter help guide of Windows ME under Error 645:
To delete all connections
On the desktop, double-click My Computer, and then double-click Dial-Up
Networking.
Right-click a connection, and then click Properties.
Make a note of all of the settings on the various tabs, and then click OK.
Right-click the connection, and then click Delete.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each connection.
To remove all dial-up adapters
Open Network properties in Control Panel.
In the 'The following network components are installed list',
double-click a dial-up adapter, make a note of all of the
settings on the various tabs, and then click Cancel.
Click the dial-up adapter, and then click Remove.
Click OK to confirm the removal.
If the list includes additional dial-up adapters, don't restart
your computer until you repeat steps 2 through 4 for each adapter.
If there are no more dial-up adapters in the list,
restart your computer when you are prompted to do so.
To remove Dial-Up Networking
Open Add Remove Software in Control Panel
Click the Windows Setup tab.
In the Components list, double-click Communications.
In the Components list, clear the Dial-Up Networking check box.
Click Yes, click OK, and then click OK again.
When your computer finishes copying files, restart it.
Then I reinstalled Dial-up networking by following the troubleshooter help
guide again. (All of the ME CAB files are located on the laptop's hard drive
in the C:\windows\options folder):
To reinstall Dial-Up Networking
Open Add Remove Software in Control Panel.
Click the Windows Setup tab.
In the Components list, double-click Communications.
In the Components list, select the Dial-Up Networking check box.
Click OK, and then click OK again.
When your computer finishes copying files, restart it.
Then I re-made the network connection to my ISP in the Dial-Up networking -
Make a new connection section. When I went to launch IE 5.5 the modem dialed
and connected to the ISP, the dial up window minimized when the ISP
authenticated my userID and password but Internet Explorer again reported
that 'this page cannot be displayed'. I am keying in the correct url -
www.yahoo.com so I'm at a loss to understand why the software won't complete
the task of loading a web page. Sorry for such a drawn out question but
I've spent several hours fiddling with this and hope you can guide me to a
positive outcome. Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
