Other Troubleshooting To Consider:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Troubleshooting - Windows is the main program on many computer that run the environment in which you see everything. When there are windows issues, they can and may come in many forms.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Software Troubleshooting - Software troubleshooting is a very technical and varies from computer to computer depending on the installed program. It requires ones experience with a wide variety of different programs and also the experience of various types of errors and last but not least the ability to remember what cause what on different programs and then attempt to solve the problem. The resolution can come in many forms from tweaking the program, rolling back windows, reinstalling core components, or ultimately - uninstalling the program and re-installing it.

Connection Troubleshooting - Connection Troubleshooting Issues are typically found in only (3) categories. The listed categories have been listed below.

Dial Up - Phone
DSL
Cable

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dial Up Connection - Dial up connection is when you plug you phone line into the back of the computer and you set up an access number to connect to the company who sold you your internet service - They provide a "Gateway" for you to use their software / Program in order to surf the internet. Many time they will by "Default" give you several different screen name in which you can sign on to or create. Those screen names will be different that the one you had initially created, and the ISPS will normally give your additional screen name to co-exist with the additional screen names that you have created.

No Connection To The Internet: Try These Steps
1). Make sure you have a phone line that is not clipped, snipped, or OLD. Or even Use a new phone cord.

2). Go to the control panel and make sure there is no yellow exclamation or red X in the device manager next to the Modem.

3). Make sure your home page in internet Explorer has not been Hijacked to another page.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DSL Connection - DSL connection is very like your phone line connection in that the DSL company uses just that: Your phone line, to connect to the internet. The difference here is that the DSL company (Which in many cases is your phone company) uses methods of breaking down their phone signal provided to your home and they charge you for the BAND or the Signal Frequency). This is more of a direct connection to them due to the different frequency provided and all that much less traffic. (I.E. Many more phone users than DSL users).

this has actually changed in the last few years as to where the phone companies are noticing that there is a lot of Internet connections as opposed to the Old Phone Lime Users, I am assuming that they suspect a rise in Internet Connections as A Primary Source Of Income and they may be changing their terms accordingly.

2). Unplug Power To The DSL Box for 10 Seconds, Turn it back on
3). Wait 30 seconds and now turn on the computer

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cable Connection - Cable connections are much like the DSL connection the is provided by your phone company, the difference is that your cable company will send out a hardware box that allows you to screw a TV Cable into the box. It is based on pretty much the same principal as the DSL in splitting the Signal in to different frequencies. The speed of the signal is much faster on cable.
