Problems using IE5 after installing Win 2000

[MrJoe]

When going to the internet in Win2K using IE5, I get a message saying "Try Offline or "Try Again". I click "Try again" and everything is ok until I reboot. Then I have to go through the whole process again. Any ideas?

I'm assuming your using a LAN type connection (DSL/cable) - did you use the Internet Connection Wizard?

 

[MrJoe]

uh.....I think so???? Should I go back and do that?

 

[MrJoe]

Well I reinstalled Windows 2000 again and went through the Internet wizard. No luck !!!! Someone please help !!!!!!!....

in IE, go to tools, internet options. click the connections tab. make sure it is set to never dial a connection, click lan settings button, uncheck everything.

Been there done that...no luck. Wow, with all the smart people on this board, I can't belive no one can figure this problem out. I think I finally got one you guys can't figure out....LOL

Make sure "automatically detect settings" is checked off under tools, internet options, lan settings...

On my home computer it is checked and I don't have to hit try again..
On my laptop all boxes are clear and each time I open IE i have to tell it that it is connected to the internet..dumb computer!!

Thanks, but it didn't help. I still have to click try again.

I had the same problem. For the life of me couldn't get it to work out, then I updated Windows (windows update) and the Driver for my NIC( I have a netgear). Then when I went through the wizard again, it worked just fine after that. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
