IE 7 Connection problems & Windows Mail Connection

I have Vista Home, and every time i connect to the internet i get the
error page not found, check the spelling, check the connection but when i
hit the refresh button various times then and only then i might get the page
and its now really getting to me, i have just have one problem after problem

2nd problem is windows mail not connecting to pop some times it will recieve
mail but will not send, and yes the settings are correct, when will the
basic's be fixed
i really like the look and feel but the basics need to be fixed

 

I have a similar problem I have discovered that the problem may be related to
the telephone socket into which my Broardband cable is inserted. When I use
an extension cable from my main BT line socket to my Broadband socket I
cannot connect to internet and get same screens as you. When I connect
Broadband cable directly into BT socket I get immediate connection and no
further problems. I am told by a BT engineer the the cables used by Bt in
Northern England cannot, with any degree of regularity, supprt the fast
download speeds now being offered by ISP's
