Internet connection

[M Weiss]

When I launch Internet Explorer I get the message: No internet connection
available: Retry or Work offline. When I press retry I get connected. Any
idea what causes it and how to fix it?

Try Control Panel / Internet Options / Connections / and check "Always
dial my default connection"

Thanks, John. But my internet connection is through cable and the dial-up
options are grayed out. So it must be something else.

Under IE/Tools/Internet Options/Connections select never dial. This
generally stems from users previously having dialup and moving on.

Other checkpoints:

Right click My Network Places/Properties/Advanced (top toolbar)/Dial-Up
Preferences/Enable Auto-Dial by Location/Uncheck all locations and check off
always ask me before auto dialing. Also, Disable autodial while I am logged
on.

In the Enable Auto-Dial By Location dialog box, select each location for
which you want the automatic dialing feature to operate. Reboot.

Disable or Enable AutoDial (Line 91)

To view the list of names and addresses recorded by AutoDial, type the
following command at a command prompt: rasautou -s

To delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses

Thanks, Kelly. But it did not work. My connection is through cable. it seems
that your advice is for dial-up.

And when I ran rasautou -s, I could not connect at all and had to use System
Restore.
