Hi there,

I am having problems with my PC. I had it at school and it worked flawlessly when connected with high-speed. But its the DIAL-UP that is causing us some problems at home! I checked with the ISP and everything is fine and even the OLDER computer works fine with it. Here's the facts:

- Connects to the Internet no problem.
- Internet EXPLORER works- slow. but works.
- MSN ( Windows Live Messenger) signs in SOME of the TIME.
- iTunes does not recognize internet connection.

- When I use Trouble shoot with Windows Live Messenger, it says theres a problem with the DNS. What is DNS? Is there problems with the settings? PROXY server?

I keep reading articles on how to help and what to do but I don't understand what DNS or Proxy server is!?
Please help, this is so frustrating!
Thank you very much!
