I am using Walmart ISP dialup connection. I have no
Problem getting to the internet. However, once I am on
And try to logon to hotmail or other sites the following
Message appears: Cannot find server and sometimes
"this page can not be displayed, ck network settings" and I can not save pics as jpeg. Help, help and thanks.

Hmm... this can be caused by a lot of things. Internet explorer likes to give you that generic error message. :(

Does this happen with every website, or only with certain websites or when you try to perform certain actions, such as a "secure" login?


A few ideas:

Try a different internet browser, such as Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org). Maybe this will help the problem.

Although it is very unlikely this could be the cause of your problem, you might want to check your DNS (Domain Name Server) settings for your ISP. These settings tell your computer what servers to look for to get the correct IP addresses for doman names (such as yahoo.com). You should be able to find the correct DNS servers on walmart's website.
Note that these settings are usually automatically detected. As walmart's isp was certainly designed for windows, then the windows dial-up thing should auto-detect the DNS... If you can get to ANY websites, then this is probably not the problem.

Follow up to my orig post. I can not access hotmail, perform any actions such as registering, ordering , downloading pics etc. I tried to download a pic that is jpeg but browser wanted to download as bitmap.
Any other suggestions? :-/

Can you get to any websites at all? Google? Yahoo?

Yes I can get to websites but I can not perform any actions like read hotmail or enter secure sites for purchases etc. etc. Thanks

This may be caused by a problem in your security settings. In internet explorer, try tools-->internet options and take a look at the security settings.

You might also want to try Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org). This will hep to narrow down the problem: if Mozilla works, then something is wrong with IE, if Mozilla doesn't work, then something is wrong somewhere else. :)

Do you have a firewall running? Maybe it is blocking access to secure http...

No I do not have a firewall installed... I will try installing
Mozilla as you suggested... Thanks :D
