Thanks to you and Ed for the suggestions but still no luck. I made sure
that the config file (and folder in which it resided) were gone before
reinstalling.
After reinstalling, I checked for the proper URL and port lines. The lines
were present and correct.
I did load 2004 on another computer that is on my network and the internet
features worked fine. Both computers go through the same router and access
the internet with the same high-speed modem.
Any other ideas?
