When I try to connect to my dial-up connection, it dials like normal. However,
when I go to Internet explorer, it says the page cannot be displayed. My
email can't be accessed either. This is a computer that hasn't been hooked up
to internet before this. Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. I have tried other modems.

Posting the result of ipconfig /all here may help.

Check your firewall to see if it is allowing the programs to access the
internet.

I do not have firewall on. I also checked for Spyware and none found.

What about basic connectivity. Try the following and report the
results

ping www.google.com

ping 4.2.2.1

If you can ping by numbers but not by name, this is indicative of a
dns problem.

It's also possible your winsock is screwed. You might try running
LSPfix to check this out and correct it if it finds a problem.
