I can get ComCAT's homepage fine, but I can't get any other web sites?
Check that the address of the site you are trying is correct. If the web site you are trying is a very popular one, try another web site (very popular web sites could be experiencing heavy traffic).
Try disconnecting and rebooting your computer, then reconnecting. If this still doesn't help, click here to double check your DNS settings in your Dial-Up Networking connection.
My Internet Explorer will not dial when I load it.
Click on View / Options in your toolbar at the top of your browser window. Click on the Connection tab at the top of this window. Make sure that the box before "Connect to the Internet as Needed" has a check in it.
