Reconnecting using IE6
When I disconnect from Freeserve Anytime dial up to use the phone I can only reconnect to the internet if I reboot the pc. This affects all programs that use the internet, virus software, IE6, Outlook Express and Opera 6 even Popcorn E-mail. Also if I just put the computer to standby or hibernate I can't reconnect without rebooting.
The dial up software connects to freeserve no problem it's just that none of the programs recognise the connection.
My PC has Athlon XP2000+, 256MB, and Windows XP, ( around 20 hotfixes and updates seem to be installed ) Zone Alarm is also installed.
My old laptop with windows 98se had no problems connecting and disconnecting all day.
Has anybody got any ideas whats going on.
