Are you definately seeing the connection icon in the taskbar? Have you tried a different modem yet?

What is your homepage set to? Are you sure your not getting redirected? How do you know its staying connected, if you cannot access the internet through any program then your not connected. Did you try to Ping your IP by using the ipconfig /all command?

www.peoplepc.com. Yes i have done evrything that you have posted but still nothing.

There must be a bug somewhere. Create an internet connection through the network connections option in system tools.
Have you contacted Peoplepc?

Have you tired running the System File Checker? Thsi isnt WinME is it? SFC wont run on WINME

Run the System File Checker

Go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

sfc /scannow ( sfc if not reconized)

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem. You will need your Windows cd.
