Windows 10: windows thinks i am not connected to the internet when i use a dial up connection.

I have connected to the internet using dial up connection through a modem.I can browse the internet in web browsers, can get my windows updates too.

In the network options it shows 'connected' in the dial up tab but 'disconnected' in the status tab.When I try to sign up in cortana or in windows office,it shows that I am not connected to the internet and it shows " 0x800713AB ". I can also log into my windows account.

Moving a dial up connection across computers

Use the Windows internet connections wizzard, just choose the Dial-up connections checkboxes etc. It's made to be easy.

Internet connection speeds

I'm really curious about this, considering the amount of hoopla every major internet connection provider likes to claim about their services, and many times exaggerated just to help their own sales . . .

So, with that in mind, anyone willing to post up their download/upload connection speeds, and we can see just how much of a difference there is in the various internet connection types.

Hit up Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test, choose the location closest to your home and begin the test, afterwards, copy and paste your result here. Also, please list what type of connection you have (dial-up, cable, DSL, VDSL, FiOS, etc) - if you are running through an ethernet connection, please also list whether it's a direct connection, or your LAN/WiFi connection speeds.

So, I guess I'lll start:

Verizon standard DSL - D-Link 802.11g 54Mbps

 

Internet Connection Sharing and Windows 7

O.K., I booted the dial up computer into Win 7 and connected to the internet, then went to the computer that is having the problem, fired up IE and searched for Google Chrome and the page did not load right. On the Chrome download page, the image that they have of YouTube was distorted. I refreshed, and it was still distorted. So, I rebooted the dial up computer into XP, connected to the internet and went back to my other computer and refreshed the page again. Still distorted. I closed IE and ran CCleaner which cleared the cache and cookies. Restarted IE performed the same search and page loads fine. (Still booted into XP on the dial up machine while I done this). So the problem only occurs when the dial up computer is booted into Windows 7 and doesn't go away until I use XP to connect to the internet and then clear the browser cache. Now, my daughter says that her computer (Win 7 Ult 64 bit), is starting to experience the exact same problem. Loads web pages fine when the XP system is connected, but has errors on web pages when Win 7 is used the make the internet connection. Something that I have not tried yet is to bring up a browser on the actual machine that connects to the internet to see how it acts. Will do that next.
