I am running windows XP. Every time I click on IE6 icon, dial-up connection comes up and instead of home page I get cannot find it.,but if I click on home or refresh, my home page comes up.

After IE6 is connected the display reads:
The page cannot displayed. I check all my security settings and all their other suggestions, but the only thing thats works is clicking refresh or home.

Welcome to CTH louie

What kind of connection are you on? modem or something that's "always on"?

I am using 56K modem on phone lines, with Windows XP.

In IE go to tools>Internet Options>Connection and there's a setting in there to stop it connecting automatically, you can then connect before you load up IE.

Thanks Steven, I tried that with no results.
I did try going to MSCONFIG in run and disable all Startup Files. Try it again and it worked. All I haft to do is, click Explorer icon and my home page comes up.
So I put a check mark by 3 startup files at a time. (It work each time.) So I set msconfig back to normal and it is still working fine. So, I don't know what my problem was?

Can you just confirm that it does let you get to sites? If that's the case then I wouldn't be too concerned about having to hit refresh after it's dialed up.

Hello Steve,
Everything is working fine, I don't haft to hit refresh.
I Know my problem is in one of my start-up files, I suspect it is the HP Support Site.,
which will automatic dial-up when you ask them a question. I will let know when it happens again.
