had the annoying page that says, "The page cannot
be displayed" and you are told that you might be

of the time it won't and when you try another Web Page,
the same thing happens again. The only thing left to do
is shutdown and restart your PC.

Refresh
Your Network
The
following fix is inevitable if you are experiencing
persistent problems with hooking up and navigating the
Internet. A description of the symptoms maybe that you
seem to be hooked up to the Net but unable to bring up
any web sites. You could reboot your computer but that is
time consuming. Besides, this is happening all to often.
Well you are probably dealing with a corrupt dialup
adapter. Your network should be refreshed. By following
these steps you should be able to correct the problem.
Requirements: Windows 95/98 disk on
hand for the finish.
Step
1
| 1. |
Double click on
My Computer and double click on Dial-Up
Networking. |
| 2. |
You should have
2 icons in your window. One of these will be your
severs connectoid. Make a note of the exact name
of this icon. Right click on your connectoid and
select Properties. On the General tab make a note
of the Telephone number and if the box below has
a check or not. |
| 3. |
Click on the
Server Types tab. Make a note of which boxes are
checked on this tab and left click on TCP/IP
button. Make a note of which boxes are checked
and copy down on paper the Primary and Secondary
DNS numbers. The other tabs have no relevance
unless you have a network connection with a LAN. |
| 4. |
Click OK and OK
again out of the dial-up panel. You are now
looking at the server's connectoid again and Make
A New Connection. Delete the connectoid icon. |
| 5. |
Close Dialup
Networking |
| 6. |
Delete the
connectoid on your desktop as well. This
connectoid will no longer connect you to your
ISP. (Internet Service Provider) |
| 7. |
Restart your
computer. |
Step 2
Remove
Client For Microsoft Networks:
If
you have Client for Microsoft Networks installed, and you
should, we will remove it from your Network. You can tell
if you have Client for Microsoft Networks installed by
studying your desktop. If you have Network Neighbourhood
on your desktop, you have Client for Microsoft Networks
installed. If you don't, skip this step.
| 1. |
Right click on
your Network Neighbourhood icon and left click on
Properties. |
| 2. |
Highlight Client
for Microsoft Networks and remove it with the
"Remove" button. |
| 3. |
Do the same with
your Dial-Up Adapter. Remove it as well. |
| 4. |
Re-start your
computer. |
Step 3
Re-Construct
Your Network:
| 1. |
Double left
click on My Computer and double left click on
Dial-Up Networking. |
| 2. |
Double left
click on Make A New Connection. |
| 3. |
Fill in the
blanks accordingly naming your connection the
same as it was before deleting it in Step 1. This is the
name you made a note of in Step 1. Automatically
your computer will install a Microsoft Dial-Up
Adapter and it will tell you that it is going to
do this for you. If not you will have a chance
later to create one. |
| 4. |
Minimize the
Dial-Up Networking window so that you can see
your Connectoid and the desktop at the same time.
Left click and hold on your connectoid. Now drag
it onto your desktop. This will only copy the
connectoid in your Dial-up Networking window onto
your desktop. |
| 5. |
Close Dial-Up
networking when finished making your new connection. |
Step 4
Install Client For Microsoft Networks:
You
have now re-created your dial-up connectoid. Now you have
to go put back the Client for Microsoft Networks. Or put
it in if you never had it installed.
| 1. |
Left click on
Start and hover on Settings and left click on
Control Panel. Double click on the Network icon. |
| 2. |
In the Network
window you should have Dial-Up Adapter and
TCP/IP. If not, don't worry. We will make them
now. Click on the Add button below. Left click on
Client and left click on Add. Now left click on
Microsoft. In the right hand window you have
Client for Microsoft Networks already
highlighted. Click OK. |
| 3. |
If you don't
have Dial-Up Adapter in the Network window left
click on Add and then Adapter. Click on Add and
then Microsoft. Left click OK. |
| 4. |
Highlight Client
for Microsoft Networks in the window and left
click on Properties. Put a dot in the radio
button that reads "Logon and restore network
connection. Click OK. |
| 5. |
Highlight TCP/IP
and click on Properties. Click OK after reading
the TCP/IP Information panel. |
| 6. |
Setting up these
tabs depends on your ISP's instructions for
setup. |
| 7. |
This is a
typical setup. Click on the DNS Configuration tab
and Disable DNS. |
| 8. |
Click on the
Wins Resolution tab and Disable Wins Resolution. |
| 9. |
Click on the IP
Address tab and make sure that you have Obtain an
IP address automatically. |
| 10. |
Click OK. |
| 11. |
This brought you
back to the Network panel. Click on the
Identification tab. |
| 12. |
Computer name
should read "localhost". (If you ever
use a tutorial on a web page wizard or making
your computer into a server for web page
designing, you will thank me for this.) |
| 13. |
Workgroup can be
anything other than localhost. I named mine
"home". |
| 14. |
Computer
Description can be left blank. |
| 15. |
Access Control
tab should have "Share-level access
control" |
| 16. |
Click OK and
follow any instructions your computer may give. |
| 17. |
This is where
you might have to use your Windows 98 disk. |
| 18. |
If you get a
message that a file being copied is older then a
file on your computer. Do you want to keep this
file? Answer "Yes". |
| 19. |
After you have restarted
your computer, try to connect to the Internet by
using your browser's icon. Fill in the blanks for
User Name and Password and check the boxes for
saving password and automatically connect. |
| 20 |
Click Connect |
If after completing
Fix # 3
you can't access the Internet, give your ISP a call. They
can help you out. There won't be much of anything wrong
with what you have just done in rebuilding your Network.
There might be some little configuration out of whack.
They will be able to find it very easily and get you back
up and running with your refreshed Network.
