Time to email ezboard

In my experience, it has always been a cable or DSL with dynamic ip. In your case with a static ip, I would say you need to contact ezboard tech support; give them your ip and ask that you be removed from their blocklisting. Maybe they just blocked an entire range of which you happen to fall into ...

ezboard access

I have had several customer call me on this issue. It seems that ezboard is blocking ip(s)

I have my customers release and renew their modems or just simply turn them off for a period of time in order to receive a new ip from the isp. This has worked 100% of the time for this issue.

Hope this helps

Donate it.

Most charities will not accept this kind of computer. They only want a computer that can run 'todays' software.

Put it out at the curb, I'll bet it won't even be removed if you put a sign on it that says "free computer".

Tinker with a linux flavor as was mentioned.

Instead of wasting your time and his time with IE 6, try using Mozilla Firefox. It's only an 8mg download; it's self contained and works on w98. I have a hard believing that the browser has anything to do with the DSL not working. Send him home with a boot up version of PC Linux and see if that ...
