Why can't I use a dial-up connection to access Web pages after I upgrade
my system to Windows XP?
A.
You
might experience a problem using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and a
dial-up connection to view Web pages if all of the following conditions
are true:
-
You upgraded your system from Windows Me or Windows 98
-
Before the upgrade, you configured on the computer a LAN connection that
used a proxy server
-
Before the upgrade, one or more of the dial-up connections didn't use a
proxy server
If you meet all conditions, after you upgrade to XP, the OS installation
software incorrectly copies the LAN proxy settings to the dial-up
connections. To resolve this error, you must manually remove these
settings from each dial-up connection by performing the following steps:
1.
Start IE.
2.
From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3.
Select the Connections tab.
4.
Select a dial-up networking entry, then click Settings.
5.
Clear the "Use a proxy server for this connection" check box.
6.
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each dial-up networking entry.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
