First of all let me say thanks to all on this board that are so helpful, a poor newbie like me would have given up a long time ago if it weren't for the great help I've found here.
Now the problem,
I have PeoplePC dial up (yaeh I know, I know, not much choice though) and I recently downloaded their "new and improved" software which is certainly new but not improved.
I'm having Bartshell.exe issues which is PeoplePC's program that is intergrated with IE and the method I have used flawlessly to connect for some time now but after the download not so much. Apparently a lot of people are having the same problem. I don't want to play this game any more and just want to manually configure my connection so I don't have to involve their crappy program at all.
Unfortunately I'm not having any luck. I went through the process of Control Panel-Internet Options- Set up an internet connection but it is not working. That is the suggested workaround that everyone recommends and it seems pretty straightforward but I guess not so much.
It's funny how easy the process looks, answer a few easy questions and TADA your hooked up. Well again not so much. After answering those few easy questions it doesn't work. So I access Control Panel-Inetrnet Options- Connections-PeoplePC (the account I created) and then go to settings for that connection and my password is not saved, I don't know what to enter for a domain name, what to check or not in the automatic settings options etc., etc.
Egad what a pain in the ...
So any help out there?
Thanks in advance, Darryl
