a prompt comes up that tells me i am not connected to the internet and need to dial up. it wants me to choose "connect" or "work off line". when i close the box it automatically puts me to work offline and then i have to go to 'file' to change it over... then i usually get the message again and do the same song and dance two or three times before i get connected with internet explorer and can browse without the prompt! help! it has to be an easy fix!

An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz

Go to the tools menu, select options and there you will find a tab (connections) where is showing how the IE connects to the internet. There select "never dial a coonection".
My best advise is that if you are using the IE6 just update it to IE7.
www.microsoft.com and you will find out the lik to download it.
good luck
