Hey gang ...

I'm trying to help a dear friend who is having the same problem I had some months ago, but can't seem to recall how I resolved it for myself.

New HP PC running XP - DIAL-UP Connection - CAN "connect" to ISP, but NOT able to view any web pages (surf/access the net).

Thanks in advance,
