Sharon 45/43 Make sure that you are *connected to the Internet* when you try to access a Website through IE (or any other browser). If you are not *connected* (in your case, AOL must be running; for other service providers, you have to be connected to the ISP), you will get the error messages. Also make sure that IE is not in "offline mode" (check under File/Preferences, etc.). I was a fan of Netscape before IE 5 came out. When I got a new set of computers last year, IE 5.01 came pre-installed (with WIN98), and although I resent Microsoft's "takeover", I have used it since because I think that it is a bit easier to use that the old Netscape (4.08) that I had. The new Netscape may be better (version 6.0), but I have not yet tried it. Good luck. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
