rbullo's Journal: You Bitch!!!

My browser's broken. It seems that sometimes it will refuse to open a page, even though there is a good connection. I have to tell it to "Work Offline", then put it back online again. It usually happens when I open a new window, and it's a pain in the ass...

TCP/IP problem

Sounds like a problem with TCP/IP drivers. In Windows, you can probably solve this by uninstalling and then reinstalling Dial-Up Networking (even if you're not using a dial-up connection).

Call me an idiot, but I can't find an option for uninstalling Dial-Up Networking on my WinXP box. If it helps, I've got a U.S. Robotics V.90 faxmodem, model 5686.

Hmm. Right now I'm sitting at a Win98 machine so you'll have to figure out how this translates, but on Win98 it's
-> Control Panel
-> Add/Remove Programs
-> Windows Setup tab
-> select Communications from list and press Details button
-> uncheck Dial-Up Networking

This probably requires your Windows installation disk.

Not in XP. I don't think you can reinstall the TCP/IP drivers in this OS.
