Page Cannot Be Displayed
I am having trouble with browsing. I have windows xp and IE 6 and I can get connected to the internet using my 56k modem. But sometimes I get the "page cannot be displayed" and when I try to get my mail through Outlook I get a message saying that it cannot find my isp host and that some tasks cannot be performed. I have reinstalled IE6 and my ISP. My ISP says it's not the phone line or modem but probably the computer, but Dell says that it is the ISP.??? I usually leave my connection on all the time until I get an answer to my problem. But when I have to reconnect and I get these errors, I do a system restore back to a day or two earlier and I can get right back online and browse again. I don't understand why this is happening, coincidence maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been having a similar problem. I have ie6.0, netscape 7.1 and aol 9.0.
There are some sites that I can access with aol but get a page cannot be displayed error on ie and a time out error on netscape. I have tried disabling my McAfee firewall, but it doesn't help.
