It is the most inexpensive; however, it is also the slowest of all types of Internet connection. It provides Internet connections through a local server with a standard 56K modem. Literally, the <a href="">computer</A> dials the ISP-provided phone number and once it succeeds, it connects through the server to <a href="">the Internet</A>, allowing the user to use all Internet programs. When the dial -p connection drops out, Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP will encounter problems. One of the most common XP problems encountered is when the Internet drops out using a dial-up connection is the appearance of a dialog box that says "Internet connection has been reset." This usually occurs when the user is downloading a file. When the connection is back online, the file transfer window will remain open, but in the download folder or download location, the file is marked with a red "X." This problem can be solved by deleting the file that has been downloaded and trying to download the file again. When the Internet drops out using a dial-up connection, IE6 stops responding. Holding the "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Del" keys to open the Task Manager and remove IE6 from the list of running programs may help. Unfortunately, to resolve this problem, a complete computer reboot is necessary. The dial-up connection is very cheap compared to other types of connection; however, it is also slower. Unfortunately, the slow connection is also possible because of the Internet drop off problems. A dial-up connection transfers data via an analog phone line. This transfer type will affect the total connection speed and increase the risk of an Internet connection dropout. This intermittent connection will affect XP and IE6 programs.
