- no internet connection error "Work Offline"???
- Posted by Howie on February 21st, 2005
We are using Windows 98SE, Pentium III, 450 MHz.., DSL internet connection,
224 MB of SDRAM...
Our internet connection is hit and miss. Commonly, a "work offline" error
box pops up when we first use Internet Explorer or Outlook Express. The
error message states: "No connection to the internet is currently available.
To view internet content that has been saved on your computer click Work
Offline. Click Try Again to attempt to connect".
I re-installed the NIC card driver, and that didn't seem to work. The
trouble started when I cloned my old hard drive onto my newer (larger
spaced) hard drive... any ideas?
Outlook Express (OE) doesn't connect on the first try either... I also have
trouble posting to newsgroups in OE as well. It will still connect, but
only after I click "try again"... help!

Un-install the networking, and then re-install it again from the
installation CD for your operating system. You will have to go through the
pain in the "@$$", to get things going again. This should do the fix most
of the time.
You can also try to first do a system file compare using the SFC utility. It
may fix the fault, if it can find corrupt files and replace them.

I have a Realtek RTL8029 PCI Ethernet NIC installed... I should uninstall
this network adapter? I believe a while back I tried that...
I tried SFC checker as well, no luck...
