Troubleshooting
■
If you have the call waiting feature on your telephone line, make sure
it is disabled.
■
Make sure your account with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is set
up properly. Contact your ISP technical support for help.
■
Make sure you do not have a problem with your modem. For information
about solving modem problems, see “Modem” on page 158.
You receive an “Unable to locate host” message and are unable to
browse the Internet
This problem can occur when you have typed a URL (Web address) incorrectly,
you have lost your Internet connection, or your ISP is having technical
difficulties.
■
Double-check the URL or try a different URL.
■
If the error message still appears, disconnect from the ISP connection and
close your browser. Then reconnect and open the browser. If you still get
the error, you may have a problem with your Internet connection or ISP.

telephone company
■
The condition of the Internet computers to which you connect and
the number of users accessing those computers
■
The complexity of graphics and multimedia on Web pages
