Here is my problem, Im using a Laptop having NT as an OS.I normally use this for work. I need to log in just to get inside and browse my C: (local drive.) I can log in even with out having LAN connection. Now I just wanted to connect to internet using my personal account thru dial up network. My laptop is having modem. I also manage to connect to my ISP (password verified ) I got a connection. But when I open IE im not able to browse anything. Its saying I don't have internet connection. Im sure that Im having coz the dial up network icon shows my Baud rate. Is there any setting I missed>

Thanks for your help guys

You might check your internet options and make sure they're set for dial up instead of LAN

Where else would you rather be than right here right now

You might try these suggestions

-In internet options set security lower.

-If you have or can get an alternate browser try that.

-Goto Control Panel/Add remove programs

goto Internet Explorer/Repair

I'll try that too. I hope that it will not limit my capabilities coz everytime Im changing some setting it always say that. Im not having administrative level to change some setting.. I wish I can bypass that.

I'm not too familiar with NT (I just started using Win 2000 this week) but can you not log on as "administator"?

Yes that's the problem I can't log on as ADMIN since Im not.. I also can't install WIN 2K... it also need ADMIN level
