I connect to the internet with Rogers high-speed. I can surf the net, use email, download things etc. just fine but whenever windows needs to access the net through a troubleshooter or when windows media player needs to download a codec or something it shows an error message saying that i need to connect to the internet. Windows update service works fine so I don't know why other parts of the system can't recognize that I'm connected. :?: :?:

Just a shot in the dark,try IE/Tools /internet options/connections ,and make sure never dial a connections Radio button is checked !

yeah its checked,thanks ne ways. I'll keep tryin stuff
