SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to the Links Tour Web site from Microsoft Links, you may receive the following error message:

A connection could not be made to the Internet. Please check your Internet connection and try again.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the appropriate method for your Internet connection:

Microsoft Windows Dial-Up Networking (DUN) Connection
Make sure that you select the Always dial my default connection option on the Connection or Connections tab in the Internet Options tool in Control Panel.

To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Internet Options.
 * 3) Click the Connections tab.
 * 4) Click Always dial my default connection, and then click OK.

Third-Party Dial-Up Connection
If you use third-party software, such as America Online or NetZero, to connect to the Internet, connect to the Internet manually before you start the game.

If Links is already running, minimize the game to the Windows taskbar, use your Internet software to connect to the Internet, and then click the Links button on the taskbar to return to Links.
