Can viruses obtained (not by downloading) by going on dangerous sites affect ur internet connection? Because My computer, when i load a website, fails to load the first time, and then the second or third or fourth it works. Also, my PSP has a DNS error 80410416. I went on the same sites with both…

I have Windows XP Professional and under My Network Connections, my AOL internet connection is not there. I had my computer fixed for about a one and a half months now, and the Internet Connection 1 is not there. I am on AOL, and yet the connection isn’t under there. I’ve tried to make a new connection, but it never gets passed verifying the username and password. Also, this is dial-up, not broadband. I couldn’t find out how to fix this anywhere and was wondering if someone could help me. Also, whenever I try to create a new connection, under the properties, the first tab, it is WAN Miniport when it should be a modem since this is Dial-Up. If you need more info, ask, I will try my best. I need to allow to share my internet connection, but I cannot without the connection there.

Thank you for your help,
Cody
There is no connection under Network Connections in my control panel. I go there and it is blank. There is no icons there whatsoever. That is why I was wondering how I can get my network icon to show.

I would like to save videos from the internet and burn them to dvd on my dvd burner. Is there a way to do this?

I want to become self-employed. For me, the pros outweigh the cons by a mile. I know how to sell myself, and am very professional.

I’m also very analytical, attentive to detail, and business-minded. My interests include small businesses, the internet (especially Web 2.0 Trends) and marketing. I have 2 blogs up on the internet; one about Web 2.0 Trends, and one about computer game development.

I’m considering becoming a consultant for small business IT solutions such as web sites, databases, and computer systems.

The only thing I’m doubting myself for at the moment is my experience in the field. I have a college diploma (2 years) in Computer Programming. I have about 1 year of experience in web design, web application programming, and .NET programming. I know I have the skills to pull it off (I graduated with honors, and am very self-motivated), but I worry that I don’t have the experience to back me up.

Do you think I have enough experience to kick-start a career in consulting? If not, do you have any possible alternatives?

Thank you
“Consulting” might require too much experience in my case. Can anybody think of alternatives for me?

I need a rough rough estimate of how many people have internet connections world wide. Thank you for your answers, please no idk answers TY
