All FAQ's Arranged By Category


Connecting
---How do I disconnect?
---Why do I sometimes get busy signals?
---When I try to log on, it takes a really long time. Why does it take so long to logon?
---I lost Power Web as a home page. How do I get it back?
---Do you have an 800 dial up number?
---Is there a maximum time I can spend connected?
---I HAVE PURCHASED THE DEVICE CATCH A CALL. BUT WHEN I TRY TO CALL MY HOME PHONE I CONSTANTLY GET A BUSY SIGNAL. THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY THAT IF I STILL GET A BUSY SIGNAL ASK YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER HOW TO ENABLE CALL WAITIN IN THEIR CONNECTION SETTINGS IN MY COMPUTER. I HAD CALLED THE PHONE COMPANY AND THEY SAID I HAVE CALL WAITING, BECAUSE I USED TO HAVE CALL WAVE ON MY COMPUTER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
---Why do I get disconnected frequently?
---Can I have 2 computers hooked up to the internet?
---What does it mean when I get an error message trying to connect saying no dial tone?
---Why does a "PostDial Terminal Screen" come up after connecting? Pressing F7 allows you to finish connecting and closes the screen. What exactly is this doing? This does not affect our online use, but it is a pain to do this every time you connect.
---I'm buying a new computer or need to transfer my existing account over to another computer. How do I do that?
---How do we get rid of websites in our drop down menu?
---What do I do once I connect?
---When I click on the Internet icon I don't get the dial-up connection box like I used to. I get a box that says a connection is not available and would I like to work off-line. If I click "work off-line" and then click on the mail icon at the top of the page then the dial-up connection box comes up and I can successfully connect to the Internet. How do I get it so that I get the dial-up connection box when I click on the internet icon?
---Can you tell me how I should be disconnecting. I had been clicking on the X in the right hand corner, then it would ask me if I wanted to disconnect from Power Web. I have not been getting that lately, and when I check my phone to see if I'm disconnected - I'm not.

Speed
---Why did I get messages from people to techtips?
---What is happening is that we pull up our Mail, and the computer runs and runs, the window says Working Online and Receiving Mail. After 5 or 6 come in, it sort of shuts down - even though it still says it is receiving mail, no more come into our mailbox.
Second problem is that once I read those that did come in and then I deleted them, they show up as new emails the next time I log on.

---Why am I not getting a true 56K connection?

E-mail
--- I am getting a lot of returned e-mails that I sent to persons through either
yahoo.com or hotmail.com. The return message says the connection is broken.
Obviously, they don't get there.>>

Same problem here for the past three days. Both yahoo addys. The message
stated "SMTP module(domain yahoo.com) reports:
connection with mx1.mail.yahoo.com is broken"

I assumed that it must be on their end.

---I just got this e-mail telling me about a bad virus that is being spread around and there is no known cure for it. It says it's going to wipe out my system, how do I know if this virus is for real?
---Even though we have changed servers, how come we still get mail with our old address on it?
---Every time I go into Outlook Express, I get an error message about an illegal operation and it shuts down on me.
---I've noticed that in Outlook Express, some are opened before I open them. Why would that be?

---What is Web Mail?
---Why is it necessary to log on again when accessing my e-mail?

---I have messages in my inbox from a few months ago. I delete them, and the next time I open my inbox, they are there. How do I get rid of them?
--- I used to have to put my password in before my e-mail could be delivered but now I don't. What did I do that eliminated that? I would like that back.
---I have been subject to more junkmail than I ever have been. I spend more time deleting/blocking sender than reading real mail. Is there anyway that you can block some of this email?
---Why do my emails come back saying they were blacklisted?
---I use Netscape for my e-mail and I keep getting pop-ups whenever I send out mail. The first one is telling me that "stalker.com" is a site that uses a security certificate to encrypt data during transmission, but it's certificate expired on 9/2/2004 4:22 p.m. The next window starts with "Unable to verify the identity of stalker.com as a trusted site…" And the last window is titled "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch"

Is there anything I can do to avoid these windows every time I send out mail?

---Why do I get e-mail from people I don't know and the e-mails aren't even addressed to me?
---Everyone I send an E-Mail to says there is a page of "jibberish" along with my message, random letters and numbers. What is it and how do I get rid of it?
---Every 2nd or 3rd time I go to retrieve my mail ,the number of messages being sent to me doesn't match what I actually receive. Is there a glitch in your mail service, or am I actually losing mail.

---I want to know how to turn off the address line history. When you begin to put a address in, everything else you ever put in there that starts with that letter pops up. After a while the list becomes very long and it is just annoying.
---Every time I check my email, I get kicked off the internet. What's wrong?
---I have outlook express, and I was wondering how do you block someone from writing you, and does it send them a message telling them they're blocked when they write me? If not, is there a way you can make that happen, sort of like yahoo does?
