MSBBN: Broadband Network Utility Does Not Connect to the Internet By Using Windows 98
SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Broadband Network Utility (BNU)
to connect to the Internet, you may experience one or more of the following
symptoms:
- You may not be able to access the Internet.
- The BNU may report that you are not connected to the
Internet, even though you can access the Internet.
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the following conditions are true:
- You are running Microsoft Windows 98.
- There are network adapters installed that cause a conflict
with the BNU.
Note These network adapters are virtual devices and may not
correspond to actual hardware that is installed on your computer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, disable or remove the network
adapters that are causing this issue. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the desktop, right-click My Computer,
click Properties, and then click the Hardware
tab.
- Click Device Manager, and then double-click
Network Adapters.
- Identify any network adapters that you do not require.
Note These may be adapters that were installed automatically, or that
belong to a connection that you no longer use. If you are sure you do not require
an adapter, you can remove it instead of disable it. Disable adapters one at a
time, and then test your connection. Possible problem adapters include the
following (or similar):
- AOL adapter
- AOL dial up adapter
- Dial up adapter
- Dial up adapter 2 vpn
- Microsoft vpn adapter
- Right-click one of the network adapters that you want to
disable, and then click Disable.
- Click OK, and then restart your
computer.
- Test your connection, and then repeat this procedure to
disable another adapter if you have to.
