I have a dialup connection and recently formatted and reinstalled. I have the abilbity through my ISP to automatically connect whenever I need to.
However, this install, IE would not recognize that connection. I got the Try Again or Work Offline message. Very annoying. I did everyting and nothing worker until I found this method.
If you have multiple users, this won't work because the file you are going to rename loads the profile information when the Browser is started.
Also, when you try to repair IE it will tell you that it cannot be repaired because this file is missing. When that happens, rename it back and the repair function will work. Afterwards, redo the entire process including the registry change.

Here it is:
Find Loadwc.exe and rename it DoNotLoadwc.exe

Step Two:
GO to start>run and type regedit. Press enter
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WebCheck
In the right pane look for these two entries:
LoadSens
LoadLCE

Double click on them, one at a time. Change the value to No.
It will read Yes or Auto.

Now see if IE recognizes your connection.

I should mention that as a first step, go to Internet Options>connections and be sure that Never Dial a Connection is selected.

Ok i think it fixed that prob but other programs wont recognize the connection.For instance im trying to down load netscape 6 and it says i dont have a connection as well as a couple others.Any ideas?

That is the only one I know of. If other prorams are not recognizing your connection, you may have a bigger issue. I am not familiar with dsl and don't know what else to suggest.
Do post any other details you have such as which programs you are using that won't recognize the connection. Also, do you get a message ? If so , are you able to click on it to establish the connection?

Well as i say that netscape 6 installer wont run and a program called techtracker.
