This will re-generate the ‘Attend Auction’ display. The user then clicks the ‘Attend Auction’ words and the system will attempt to re-connect. If this does not work, the user should close all Internet windows and attempt to re-connect to the Internet via normal browser activation (e.g., clicking on the IE logo to activate Internet Explorer. If an Internet connection cannot be made, there is a problem with the user’s Internet Service Provider.
