According to a letter to the editor in this month's Ottawa Computes, one person who who could no longer connect to his ISP or 4 others after an upgrade from W98SE to Windows ME spent 1 1/2 hour with tech support to find out that he had done everything properly and his ME was ok but the problem was in fact that none of these 5 major Canadian ISPs fully support ME yet. Once he reverted to w98SE, there was no problem.

So I suggest that first you phone your ISP to simply check if ME is supported by them for ADSL.

See if you can ping internet sites by their IP addresses (eg. the gateway and DNS server addresses given to you by your ISP). If so, you are in fact connected to the internet, but can't "surf" because DNS is not properly configured.

My friend had problems with his DSL also after going to WinME
all he had to do is download the lastest version of WinPoET & everything worked fine after that
