    I bought a new computer (PC) which included 1 month’s subscription to the Internet. At the end of the month I decided to change ISP’s and found a new ISP. I took my computer in to them to have the connections changed to their phone numbers etc. After several hours of work, including completely unloading and reloading the Internet Explorer software, they could still not get it to access their site.

Eventually they gave me a copy of Netscape, which I now use successfully. Can you tell me if there is a simple solution to this problem please? (more…)
