MD: After my computer crashed I reinstalled my OS and evidently all the files needed to access the web didn't properly load. The guys at work in Data Processing figured it out and just reloaded all the software again. Then got with Bellsouth and got it going. I could not understand why I could connect but could not get to the web. Anyway I am back on and I thankyou for your help as well. I was about ready to trash this thing. I bought McAfee firewall software and loaded it too. Feel better now.
