Not sure if this is the place to put my question.

We have broadband, but when I try to open a website it seems to be "offline"

and is asking me to connect.

Can anybody help me.

Turn power on your broadband connection.

I assume the power was on...

but I think he meant to turn the power off, then back on

Relax, you have, indeed, come to the right place.

 

If the site is in Iran, the government may have shut it down during the

election cycle. If the site is involved with publicizing secret documents,

some federal judge may have disabled DNS records.

 

Sorry, but your symptom is insufficient to make a diagnosis.

Internet Explorer (and Outlook Express) are programmes that can be run

in an Offline and on Online state. Thus you can connect to the internet

and download a current copy of a web page, go offline i.e. disconnect

from the internet and continue to read the web page. You can store or

retain copies of web pages to read offline on your computer but users do

not normally do not do this. It uses up disk space and is unnecessary as

you can create a Favourite ,which is a link to the web site, if you know

you will want to read it again.

 

Internet Explorer can be configured to display a menu bar. On the menu

bar if you select File you will find Work Offline. If there is a tick

before Work Offline you are Offline. Click on Work Offline and the tick

is removed and you are Online. Click again and you return to the Offline

status.

 

Since the introduction of Internet Explorer a number of Toolbars have

been developed, notably by Google and Yahoo, which mask some of the

basic features of Internet Explorer and simple things like menu bars are

often not displayed. However, you should be able to find some way to

easily switch between Offline and Online modes. It is just a matter of

studying the buttons in the window you see when you start Internet

Explorer. It may not always be obvious you have started Internet

Explorer. Many Search functions automatically connect to the internet

through Internet Explorer or an alternative browser. If you are Offline

you will get an error so you need to know how to change the status to

Online.
