Thank You for answering so fast I really appreciated it!!! Well We checked the modem
okay. I went uder control panel and went under Internet options and I had the second
one checked. I went ahead and checked the third one default and it popped up something
about a syntax error. I got a dial up noise and it said I am hooked up to the internet

Again,
