Hmmm.My internet connection seems fine except certain sites won't work(ICQ,Kazaa...AH).Did I bugger up my system by deleting something from my desktop?I was clearing icons to make my Luftwaffe wallpaper look uncluttered.What I have left is Recycle bin,Outlook Express,My computer,My Documents,Network Neighborhood and Internet Explorer...Am I missing something that's blocking my access to AH?Also,now I get the Network Password box when I reboot.Any help much appreciated.

I get timed out on connection attempt(same with alternate route).Did I somehow activate a firewall?..Also I deleted My Briefcase from desktop(never used it)..Would this bugger my system up?(Or is it my newly installed Luftwaffe desktop theme?)..

First activate your Devise Manager and see
if you have any yellow question marks in
front of a folder or sub folder.

Device Manager is ok.I checked all folder/sub folders and all is fine with no question marks.Still time out even on alternate routes.Been 24 hours now I know it has to be a problem on my end.Just wish I knew what else to check..

When all else fail, reinstall

I always hate that, but it works more often than not. If you think it was a certain program you removed that might have caused a problem. Reinstall the program and remove it in control panel with the add/remove programs. Just some basic stuff but often that's where it is. LP

I am now able to log into AH arenas.Problem seemed to fix itself.Weird that I was able to surf the web but not allowed a connect to AH arenas.Had to be my server so after 3 years with @home and putting up with their toejamty tech support,I've ordered DSL.Hope it's less frustrating than my cable experience....Now,off to hunt down SOB...
