Hi all,
I am trying to help my folks get online with Comcast high speed. They
currently are using AOL. The installer from comcast came (got paid 100.00)
and left and they still have no internet connection. THe problem is that
explorer does not connect... when I go into Connections tab under the Lan
settings the box for Proxy is checked and has the loopback IP address. I
uncheck it, check obtain auto and it on its own reverts back to the 127.0.0.1
IP address. DOES anyone have any ideas to fix this? I then set up firefox
and it is screaming and has connection.. I really want to set them up with
IE7 cause I think they will be able to use it easier. ANYONE HELP PLEASE!!
