This Month's FAQ - What Should I Do If I Lose My Internet
Connection? Question: Every once in awhile, I lose my Internet connection at
home. Do you have any troubleshooting tips for me? What can I do to get back
online? 1. Check to make sure
your modem has power. 2. If your modem has
power, go ahead and disconnect the power to the modem and leave the power off
for about 20 seconds. 3. Reconnect the power
and allow the modem time to receive a new Internet connection. When the
"link" light becomes active, your modem is connected (rebooted) to
the network. 4. If you are using a
router, disconnect the power to the router and leave the power off for about
20 seconds. Restart the router and your Internet connection should be
restored. 5. If you are still
not getting a connection, you may also want to try restarting your computer.

people such as close friends or members of a club? If the answer is yes, how
do you do it? If you individually select the e-mail addresses of recipients
and place them in the "To" field, we encourage you to consider a
better way. Take a few minutes to create separate groups with these e-mail
addresses and send future messages to the name of the group instead. Your
recipients will appreciate the change, since their individual e-mail
addresses will no longer appear in the "To" field (which can
potentially expose them to scammers). Here's how to do it: 1. With Outlook
Express open, click your cursor arrow on the "Addresses" icon on
the toolbar. The Address Book - Main Identity window will appear. 2. Click on the
"New" button on the toolbar and select "New Group..."
from the resulting drop-down menu. The Properties window will appear. 3. Type in a name for
your new group in the "Group Name:" field. "Work," "Family," or "Friends" are good examples.
(Note that the name you use for the group is the name that will appear in the
"To" field of future e-mail messages.) 4. Next, click on the
"Select Members" button on the right side of the window. The Select
Group Members window will appear showing a list of your contacts in the
left-hand pane of the window. 5. Highlight a name,
multiple names, or all of the names from the listed contacts and click the
"Select" button located between the two panes. This will move the
highlighted contact or contacts into the "Members:" pane. Click on
the "OK" button when you have added the contacts and click
"OK" again to close the new group's Properties window. 6. You will see the
new group name folder listed under the "Main Identity's Contacts"
folder located in the Address Book - Main Identity window and with your other
saved contacts. Click on the red "X" to close the window. You are
