Re: unable to connect to internet on remote computer

I did what you said. here are the error messages.

1. ping request could not find host www.yahoo.co.uk. Please check the name
and try again.

2. pinging 66.94.230.33 with 32 bytes of data

request timed out
request timed out
request timed out

ping statistics for 66.94.230.33:
packet: sent= 4, received= 0, lost= 4 (100%)

---

1. dialog box:
'internet explorer could not open the search page'

2. 1. dialog box:
'internet explorer could not open the search page'


Is there any way of getting my cable aol to connect through IE rather than
having to open the aol explorer? would that help?


thanks

chris
